    Hello everyone :)

    This is a 36mm watch powered by a Hamilton Cal 11.

    Here is an article about the watch :

    Gorgeous! The Chrono-Matic is such a cool watch and one of my personal favorites (those rabbit ears!). I really want to own the panda dial version at some point, but it seems like they pop up very rarely nowadays... and usually for a hefty premium. :thumbsdown:

    Just saw this on Instagram. Not sure how reputable the site is but it's a good start. Maybe the guys here can help you flesh it out.

    Funny, I saw this one on Instagram weeks ago but I had assumed it sold already! I believe Menta is a pretty well established dealer - though he's been involved in some drama regarding a certain UG lately. Honestly I might buy it if I had the funds but it is a bit pricey IMO... especially since it's not all original.

    Just saw this on the site and the bezel was one I've never seen. Granted, I am a complete noob but doing some quick research I found nothing.

    Love it!

    Damn, I'm an uptight businessman fussy about his hard-cooked eggs (I steam them rather than boil) so maybe I bought the wrong watch! I have indeed used my Speedmaster to time them.

    Congratulations! Now, if only it could be a tiny bit thinner . . .

    Beautiful are you going to wear it or lock it up? Such a nice piece I would cry if I dinged it...
