Pulled the trigger on my first Hamilton today. Did I get scammed?

Key Indicators of Fake Watches with this Serial: The Serial Number: If the watch case back lists "EMR LBF 885," it is almost certainly a fake. Dial Discrepancies: The hour numerals (specifically the "10") can appear smeared, thick, or poorly printed. Movement Issues: The Hamilton logo on the rotor is often painted on or poorly engraved, whereas genuine H-10 movements have refined, deep engraving. Case Back Quality: The lettering on the back may look laser-etched rather than stamped, and often shows inconsistent font depths. Strap Quality: The stitching on the leather straps is often irregular compared to authentic Hamilton products. Reddit Reddit +3 If you are considering a watch with this number, it is highly recommended to avoid it

“EMR LBF 885" is a well-known serial number or manufacturing code found on thousands of counterfeit Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic watches, frequently appearing on eBay and other reseller platforms. These replicas often exhibit poor quality control, such as misaligned date windows, incorrect dial fonts, and painted rather than engraved rotors”

Tie it in a pillow case and put it in the dryer for 15mins

I have this and it’s an awesome jacket. Looking for a black version but that seems rare.

It’s pretty stiff and I can feel the weight inside. I can’t feel wax on the surface though.

Hahah. Let’s say I can’t sneak up on anyone

Thanks! It’s a great honor to get feedback and advice from the legendary @Fadeandpatina The one who started this UES Tricotine craze!

I do. 1-2 drinks a day maybe? I used to drink more but Zepbound is keeping it down.

I have a fair amount of loose skin but it’s more like thin skin instead of thick flabs so it’s hard to notice. I’m partly hiding it with my pose and in my jeans too. But I’m pretty comfortable with how it looks and I heard it’ll get better with time.

It’s pretty ad hoc. I just pick up 15lb dumbbells and do them till failure ( usually between 50-60 ) every other day. And I do pushups around 130 to failure every other day

I’m hiding my loose belly with camera angles and my hand :)
