So @skylimegtr_34 straightened me out when I first thought my Hammy was defective. The inner bezel would not lock when I screwed down the top crown but he told me that is normal and most internal bezels move when you screw the crown down. This being my first one, I wasn’t aware of that and almost returned the watch, so to skylinegtr, I say THANK YOU!!
On to some watch porn
It arrived in a pouch much like my Seiko Monster had:
It has a blue hue around the unique crystal that looks really nice in certain light:
It has a silver chapter ring and the black bezel is on top of that:
The white numerals against the black background really jump out at you:
The display case with signed rotor:
On my size 7.25” wrist:
The lume is not super but then it’s not a dive watch either:
The bracelet isn’t quick change like my Christopher Ward (love that bracelet) but it is easy enough to size.
Thank you to @booruns for posting this deal!!
I’ve just started with Swiss watches and I have to be honest, I Like them better than Seikos and Citizens for the same money. This coming from a budding collector though
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

An update to this awesome Hamilton, it’s around 1 second slow per day. This is the most reliable watch I have that is not a quartz!! My CW Trident is 12 seconds fast per day.
