Hamilton Valiant Auto

I looked it up on Hamilton's site and they do not go into detail, but I will look it up. I am interested now to see what it uses.

USMC issue. IIRC it is made by Timex.

Sorry, I was looking at he second to the left. I have one of the little Timex ones. It is the only watch I have ever had that I could feel tick. If I lay it on the night stand it can hear it. Battery is on its 7th year.

Nice.

From looking around a bit, it looks like it's an ETA 2824-2. That's a pretty decent movement.

Gotcha that one is marked US Time, and it also is a USMC watch. That one is probably 15 years old.

"The ETA 2824-2
The reputation of ETA is known the world over. They are the largest manufacturer of Swiss mechanical movements and supply many of the top manufacturers, including Omega, Breitling, Tag-Heuer, IWC, and many others. In fact, both Omega and ETA are owned by the Swatch Group. Since the movement is the 'heart' of the watch, I have carefully chosen what I feel to be the best combination of reliability and value in the ETA 2824-2 movement."

the Hamilton is my pick of the bunch. i'm not so much a fan of Stuhrling or Skagen, though I can see the appeal.

you really like those black watches huh

Guilty.

The Skagen I got for my wife.

The Stuhrling I actually might return...

I always think I hate Luminox, but every time I see one, I want one.

[prom king]

Thanks! I got tired of not having a go to watch, so I said screw it.



I also just bought this

How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking

[6cylVWguy]

I like the luminox. Makes sense though, as I have the same one except in yellow.

[Aonarch]

How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking

IIRC ~$165.

Getat Watch company the Chinese start-up. It is all high-quality parts, hand assembled by one guy named Tat in Hong Kong.

They are VERY popular and I have only heard, seen, and read good things about them.

[hrama803]

Alec,

You wanna sell that Nano Watch?

I have been looking at one for use on the bike...

I still haven't received it yet. Going to file a paypal claim.

People on Watchuseek are always complaining about how long he takes. Good stuff, but takes FOREVER. Still not acceptable, IMO. I'd file a claim, too.
