This is a watch I keep coming back to...



In good, used condition these can be had at a good price and I'm very tempted.

I like the look of the chronograph too but at 45mm it's probably a tad big for me. The day/date above comes in at a more comfortable 42mm which is an ideal size for me.

Any owners out there who can share their thoughts? I'm not usually a fan of day/date watches but I could live with this.

Cheers.

 

If that was 37 - 39 mm I'd have a problem..... 'cept for that ugly NATO thing.

 

Not a huge fan of that NATO either but I'd image it would look good on the right strap...brown leather maybe or a dark navy.

 

I think the older version is pretty cool although a little less colorful!

 

Chrono looks good on mesh



Diameter is 45mm but lug length is also 45mm so not too huge imho . . .

 

I think this is one of Hamilton's best designs

My original.is big too. Around 43mm, and wears even bigger because of the crown on the opposite side of the chronograph buttons

 

very, very cool

 

I reacquired a gray dial PE after selling mine a year or so ago. It is one of the best looking and comfortable watch I own. The movement with 80 hr power reserve is amazing - that's Blancpain territory there. Great value for the price.

I would have bought one by now, but the damn things are the same diameter as my skinny little wrist.........

 

I had the one in the OP and an early 70s PE. Huge size difference between the two.

 

I put a Pan E. on my wrist at a local AD. I liked it a lot, and I mighta bought it, too, except I am holding out for akajack's 1971. LOVE this ^^^^^
