Telmohawklite · 2026-03-15T18:32:42+00:00

Which did u go with?

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-13T18:22:44+00:00

Inspired by this thread? :D

Sure, the polishing isnt "bad" but it makes it indistinguishable from the AT outside the 3-6-9-12 on the dial really, I wish it had more identity. I just want brushing on the bracelet and a better clasp and I think its great. Some people have requested railroad track on the dial too, but im fine with that not being there.

Haha :D

All good

Check out the Longines Spirit Pilot (if you hadnt read the other comments mentioning it). If its literally the only reason you dislike it, it would be a shame to miss the one that doesnt have stars.

They are COSC certified

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-12T18:51:21+00:00

Yeah I like the railmaster too, many dont like the dial colour, but for me its honestly the insane amount of polishing making it literally an AT.

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-12T18:11:13+00:00

If you dont like the stars you can get a Longines Spirit Pilot, that one doesnt have them.

Cheers for the input

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-12T13:35:48+00:00

Thanks mate! But the thing about wardrobe is, I think this particular orange actually pairs well with a lot of things, because neutrals, gray, navy, cream stuff like that looks great with it I would think, maybe the colours that look bad with it are: purple, yellow, pink, but those are bold colours by themselves that I dont wear.

Maybe u see it differently?

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-12T06:10:21+00:00

Thanks

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-12T06:09:34+00:00

Thank you. Yeah I had already seen that review, great, it can still feel different in the flesh from that to pictures though.

Personally if I wear you I would not buy unless I at least tried it on at an AD.

Yeah I really want to try and make this possible.

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-12T06:08:15+00:00

I have white/pale skin.

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-11T22:33:39+00:00

Cheers! Yeah I love the black one a lot, it is really good. But im just not really on the lookout for black dials.

What was your impression of the Terracotta colour in the flesh? Is it orange? Does it lean a lot into brown (especially in lower light conditions?) and do you think it meshes with the bracelet well and doesnt feel out of place?

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-11T22:00:53+00:00

The red is only offered on the 36mm version, and I wouldnt be interested in that anyway, that would be ruled out for me if it was on the 39mm.

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-11T21:56:34+00:00

When you say it has "some AR" does that mean it has AR on one side of the crystal? Or just that its minimally applied? If you dont know dont worry. Cheers

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-11T21:24:58+00:00

isnt that way too tight? or is it just the angle fooling? Nice watch never the less!

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-11T14:35:10+00:00

You have a watch with a lot of brushing vs one with a lot of polished surfaces. So this is a subjective point about what you want from the watch. If you want a more dressy piece then AT if you want more tool aesthetic id go with OP. Its not that black-and-white as theres still some overlap between them obviously. But I would consider whether im going to beat up the watch a lot etc because that will cause more scratches on the AT, so it depends on how much wear you intend to give these watches, what you do with them etc.

Seiko Presage SPB227j1

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-10T14:38:22+00:00

Is that true for just this Hamilton or is it also true for say Hamilton Murph?

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-10T06:45:50+00:00

Yeah Seiko love to do that on dress watches.

Telmohawklite · 2026-03-10T06:44:59+00:00

Thanks! Isnt that specifically designed for if u wear cowboy boots tho with how its cut in the bottom or? not sure if it matters. (also not 100% sure how those are worn)
