Havent had much to share in quite a while but I thought Id show you this.

My new Hamilton Khaki Action Automatic.

I found this pre loved on another Forum at a very reasonable price.  Since I have been jonesing for a new watch having
only acquired 3 in the past year I jumped on it.  Excellent condition, plastic still on the exhibition back and not a mark to be found anywhere.
Im very pleased with it, in fact I think I am in love with it!!! 
It arrived yesterday, my birthday present to myself.

Now for the weather, ehr, pictures.  Tiffany?

Perfect fit on my puny 6 1/2 inch wrist, 40mm without the crown and guard, 46mm with.



Thick but pliable rubberized leather strap with 2 tang buckle just the right length for me.
Of course one set of holes is a little too tight and the next a little too loose.





Interesting large screw down crown with equally interesting guard.



smooth left case side.



2824-2 movement enhanced by Hamilton, exhibition case back.



200 meter water resistance, screw held on back.



Sapphire crystal of course.
Lume is strong on the hands and lighter on the 5 minute marks.
Not a lume monster but adequate. Still readable after 6 hours.
Smooth, precise bezel (Clicks unknown)



Been looking for a 3 hand to be able to wear in almost any situation and I think that this just may be the one.
