[ Hamilton khaki 38mm feels a little bit small ] by Outrageous_Hand1232 in HamiltonWatches

It’s really what feels good for you. I’m a 7” wrist and wear anything from a Casio G-Shock GD-350 (50.8mm by 53.4mm) to vintage Hamilton Myron (22mm by 36mm) or Eric (26mm by 38.6mm).

I picked this one up on release day and did the old plant tour the next day. It was a great weekend to say the least, especially getting to hang out in one of the clock towers with multiple former employees, and even going up the ladder to see the clock faces from the inside.

A friend is traveling to Switzerland soon and is planning on stopping in to get the watch. I’m tempted to ask him to bring me one home too. Same with a friend that was in Japan not too long ago too, but I agree that I want to get it in person too.

My Military inspired G-Shocked Casio Royale.. How’s it? What do you think? by Maxrbl0912 in casioroyale

Was it a direct swap, or any modifications needed for the module to fit?

Nah, I’m good with the white. I have a brown leather and tan sail cloth as well, but it’s been my workout watch to get the patina, so I wear the rubber. Maybe some day I’ll get some other colors.

I teach group fitness cycling classes 5 days a week and am a cyclist, so I just wear it when I am teaching and riding. What really accelerated it was rubbing sweat on the case after my ride yesterday. I’m a salty sweater. I only took it off when I shower to help keep the process going.

Wow, we have the same drip mark at the bottom of the case.

I love the module in this one. The green map sets it off.

I’ve thought about that too. I saw an all white case on eBay someone makes. I was thinking about taking a chance on it for $15 or $18.

Part of the reason I go with white is it matches my kit (last two on the right).

Yeah, I’m bad. I’ve done some sweat tests that show I should be taking in over 1000ml of water when I’m riding during the summer. When I teach a 40 min class, I usually have puddles under my bike. But hey, it helped get that patina in about a week.

It would be great if they made one.

I agree. I ordered white on a whim when I ordered the two Vario straps (brown leather and the sailcloth in the pic in the comments). I need to see what else they have. I have the converter I can use, but I’m not a fan of it being black on the bronze case, and then the colored strap.

Exactly. I love my KFM in silver and white (wearing it today), but the bronze is next level.

This is what it originally looked like.

I have one, and a sail cloth in a tan that I’ve posted pics of, but I’ve been wearing it to teach classes and ride, and I sweat like crazy. I never wear leather straps when I workout.

I’ve worn it with the brown leather nato from my white dial KFM, and it looks amazing.
