What a beauty it is.  Very nice navy blue dial and the chrono dials are a lighter shade of blue.  Looks a bit different than the pics I posted from the vendor.  Looks much better in person.  The blue leather strap with Hamilton deployment is top notch.  I may try a light brown strap later, just to see how it looks.  Also came with a pretty nice bracelet...not a Hamilton brand but still pretty nice.  I prefer straps, so I'll just leave the bracelet in the box.  I'm very impressed by the fit and finish of these Hammies  and this one is no exception.  Very nice case and details - everything works smoothly.

I'd read a post on one of the other forums that this model wasn't Swiss made and didn't have Swiss made anywhere on the watch.  This one is clearly engraved on the back - Swiss Made, Saphire Crystal and 100M water resistance.  It has the ETA7750 workhorse with Hamilton engraved rotor that can be admired thru the display back.  I'm a happy camper on this snag. 

I'll post some pics of my own this weekend.

It is one of the nicest blue dials I have ever seen...I missed out on the blue dial, 38mm and am still kicking myself!
