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.

Thanks, Guys.

Another interesting thing I forgot to mention. The flat black (carbon black?) on the bezel and strap is soooooo black it looks chocolate brown in some light. An interesting effect.

Hamilton is my favorite mid priced brand. You get a whole lot for your investment. Well done. Nice addition to your collection.
