    I love my Hamiltons. The older the better.

    Being on the hunt for a new one (which I won’t name until I’ll get it), I’ve just come across this topic.

    The first one, I bought it as a substitute to the very sought after Heuer 2447 NS. A friend of mine insisted a lot to get it from my hands and I made the mistake to sell it eventually. Long story short, he sold it right away for a profit to an other party without any notice. No need to say he is no longer a friend of mine :thumbsdown:

    Next in line are this nice Hamilton G.S. (stand for General Service) tropicalized ...

    .... then the rarer 24h dial version...

    ... and finally a 6B 9101000, aka poorman’s Mark 11

    ... for what I dare to call a pretty nice trio :)

    Lovely collection & great pics as always. Hamilton’s, like Tissot are still undervalued IMHO. Of course some command a level as you may expect in the market, but many others still fly under the “collectors” radar.

    I wore a Hamilton whenever in the field on active duty in the 80s and own many Hamiltons from WWII. I love them plenty.

    Hamilton offered many European designs often not found in the U.S. catalogs in the late 60’s & early 70’s. These often had reference numbers 640XX - X. This gorgeous 1960’s Hamilton 600 Broad Arrow Diver Ref. 64034-3 is powered by cal. 64A, same mvt. as the 600 Super Compressor cased model 64040-3. It reminds me of the iconic Omega Seamaster CK 2913

    I've been eying the modern Hamilton Khaki Mechanical for a while and today bit the bullet and bought one.

    Don't care for the canvas strap with the eyelets so swapped it for a grey NATO as soon as I got home.
