Double dog Seiko autos for a cold and rainy Thursday in Cincinnati today...6309-7049 [1986] and SRP777K1 [2016] respectively...
A very hot and Sunny morning to start the day , & this is the closest the speedy will go near the pool ,
Just got this last night. It is surprisingly nice. In the Hodinkee photos, I thought they may have modified the photos to make the watch look better. But in person, it is quite impressive. For a relatively cheap watch, the wow factor is out of proportion.
One other note about the Hamilton. Obviously it is manual wind. I have a bunch of Rolex watches (moslty 50s, but new as well), and the Hamilton doesn't outwardly give up much in terms of impression of quality. But the Hamilton is the finest winding experience of any watch I've had. It is a joy to wind.
