I have had one for a while now and love it. How much did you pay (PM is ok)?
I also ordered a bracelet for it as that is what I prefer.

Just north of 250 after taxes. The band was pretty rough and smells of smoke bad. I ordered a new one and am wearing it as I type. Band was 100 bucks new :shock:

So far it's been keeping amazing time and is very close to the 49 hours of power reserve it claims on Hamilton's site. I had been looking for a Mechanical one that was "different" and this one was. I've only seen a few online.

It will be with me for a very long time.

Mine with the Hamilton bracelet. Soon to be fully brushed once it goes in for a service - running @ -15sec a day last time I was tracking.

This one is coming eventually from Ukraine. Pic from someone else because the seller's pics weren't great. Going to need some 18mm straps for it though

I couldn't resist. I swapped the bracelet from my Kahki Field 42mm over to the Officers Mechanical and it felt like a new watch. Just ordered a brand new bracelet for it.

Photo’s please.
I love bracelets and struggle not having one on a watch. So when I buy the odd watch without a bracelet, first thing I try and find is a bracelet.
I think the only exception to date is the seiko street tuna I picked up a few months ago - don’t seem to want a bracelet for it, nor my glycine combat sub - it came with a bracelet but I prefer a FKM strap.
Trying to find one for my glycine vintage 41mm with 20mm lugs. Prefer solid end links of course.

Is that a Michel Jordi? Always liked his designs, nobody knows about the brand though

It was my birthday recently so I treated myself to one of these. I've always regretted not grabbing one when they first came out (though did snag the power reserve version), so figured now was the time. Love these dials.

So much better when you see it in real life.
