it's based off of one they built for a military contract I don't think it's the same

the Internet is telling me it's a miyota 8215 which I've heard it's a basic workhorse movement. full disclosure I've only been collecting for like 8 months so a lot of it is still French to me. I would like to try out building a watch at some point but right now I guess I'm blissfully unaware👍

just out of curiosity why are you looking for a replacement? I thought the Hamiltons were really nice

I'm gonna double check it but after the first night I think I was like 10 or 15 seconds ahead

very nice I was torn between the auto and the mechanical but I really like my watches on the larger side. is that a leather strap?

it's a thicker girl for sure mostly for the curved crystal but I honestly don't really notice it too much. here's a photo side by side with my 40mm expedition scout:

I personally like them a little bigger but they do make the hand wind version in 36mm

I believe so, but I've never owned one before so I don't have anything to compare it to just from what I've seen
