Recent purchase just arrived today. With new olive green nato strap. Beautiful in person. Purchased at a great deal not to FLIP (fkin flippers). So excited and wanted to share.

They have a reissue version of this I think. Been thinking about getting one.

I actually bought it. Tried it on. Then promptly returned it. It is nice but faux patina and the painted textured dial just wasn't doing it for me. I felt for the price it was missing something. Very nice looking nonetheless.

Oooooouuuuu! Nice peices man! What are the references and models of these? The one on the left looks like the 60s british miltary issue.

Both from the mid 60’s, Hamilton 6B / Hamilton G.S. 24h dial / Hamilton G.S. tropicalized

G.S. stands for General Service

Was Smiths manufacturing these cases? They look so alike.
