The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
-
Hamilton have released yet another Field Watch.
This time it's in titanium, with a 42 mm case diameter. Available in silver or black.
More at Worn & Wound.

Your wonderfully faded sleeve cuff is distracting @Graeme

@motojobobo I stole the photo off Worn & Wound. It's not my cuff!
-
Die to some late night drinking and eBay browsing, I now have a new watch. It's a pretty faithful remake of a model from 1970-71 that I've liked for years, however, the originals tend to be in poor condition and far more than I'm willing to pay. I've already ordered a replacement NATO, as this silicone strap is cool looking, but not especially comfortable.

New to me, SRP655.
-
Nice!
And the world clearly needs more indigo flannels.

Is that the one that’s referred to as the surfboard?
-
Pretty sure it is. Def a cool little number.

Yep, that's the one.
The originals (there were a couple of regular three handers in addition to the surfboard chrono) were rated to a depth of 666 feet, so they were also called Devil Divers. I think Bulova missed out by not doing the same with the reissue and putting the 666 on the dial.

Anyone ID this model?

Have been a mechanical watch admirer / collector for quite some time! The NOMOS Tangente is my every day wear both in formal & casual setting!

Thanks @ijpx
Not too bad of a price point…. i think. Not positive of course since i can’t read the description. -
Cool thanks. Any chance you have first hand experience?
I think the worn and wound review suggests niceto look at but funtionally perhaps a little over priced. -
My new 40mm Hamilton field Khaki arrived today. Got 20% off RRP from an authorised online dealer. Colour and placement of the date window aren't for everyone. I'm swapping the strap out for a Tanner Goods pass through strap, ordered today at another super discount.
-
@Giles if you look closely, the date window slightly pushes the 3 numeral out of line with the rest of the numerals. Some watches completely remove the numeral altogether, some align it.
Lots of reviewers aren't a fan of the placement, it doesn't worry me too much as there are more positives to negatives to this watch imo.
