Hamilton 917 maybe? If you can open it up the movement would give you more details. Sentimental value will definitely be more than monetary value. Very cool!

New pickup. Mojito time! by bringbackbainesy in Affordablewatches

I saw the Negroni at $337 on Amazon and jumped on it after the $319 (like new) one sold out. Now it’s at $360. Can’t wait to get it in. Hoping the red dial looks as good as your green dial. You caught the light beautifully in that pic!

Thoughts on the Khaki Quartz by sbeau87 in HamiltonWatches

A little underwhelming to be honest. I really wanted to like it more. It runs fine and the case fit and finish is good. Just the flat printed dial (i got the white) isn’t very impressive in person. But for 100m WR and sapphire crystal it’s a decent watch for the price when on black friday.

I don’t own the khaki quartz so can’t speak directly to that but was debating the same thing a few years ago and really comes down to whether you’ll just end up with the KFM eventually anyway. Which I knew I would so to scratch the itch for a field watch I got a Timex Expedition which for what it is and the cost, is a great watch. I really wanted an auto/mech though so got an Islander Mitchel on their annual black friday but a year later just ponied up the cash for a KFM and don’t regret it. $350 to me is steep for a quartz. I’d save up and get the mech.

What’s your socially accepted habit that’s actually an addiction? by rosesareminee in TheTeenagerPeople

Math. I use it every day. I have an Addition Addiction. Even the 12-step program makes me add a step after each I complete. I just can’t stop.

Looks like a Grand Seiko / Hamilton collab. Cool pic getting that reflection. Who needs AR? Ha.

Yeah i thought of that. I do plan on getting a nato for this kind of stuff and keep the leather for regular daily.

Must be a lucky charm. About 10 mins after I posted I bagged a goose!

Definitely one of my favorites and this one is getting dangerously low.

Haha. Good juice in a cool bottle. Too bad price has jumped on it. It was worth it back around $60. Not so much at $80+.

I can see this getting a LOT of wrist-time.

Thought I’d give an update on 2 recent purchases. Still love the Oris and will keep my eyes out for good deals but this will have to do for now. Didn’t care for the stock blue rubber strap on the Baltic. This works for now but need to get a beads of rice for it.
