For all you with the champagne dial- can you see the hands okay? I really like the watch, but sure about that. Black may be better, but champagne seems more interesting.
Lol I have the same. Its my daily.
It’s a king khaki. I just wore mine yesterday. Nice watch. Mine came with a lighter strap. As others have said, no great loss to replace the stock one, they aren’t great.
The stock ones are terrible, really stiff and uncomfortable. Swapped it out immediately
I hate the stock strap on mine as well. the claps had a tendency to jab the inside of my wrist.
Great watch, but I would have picked an Oris over this personally. Sorry for your loss. Wear it with pride.
I love Oris, but frankly the ones he had left weren’t my style. One I remember was a rectangular Frank Sinatra model which I’m not crazy about, and the other one was my eldest brother’s who also passed and I wanted my mother to keep it for herself.
He picked watch that will remind him of his father. And watch that he liked most. Not a watch based on highest resell value
I’m sure this is a much more common thought than the downvotes would lead you to believe.
Yeah, I have no idea what I said that caused this backlash. Sorry all, was simply saying I like oris. I own Hamilton too. Wasn't knocking it, but what can you do...
Sorry for your loss OP. I have the same watch and love it, takes up the majority of my wrist time. Here it is pictured on the metal bracelet if that helps in your search for a new band.
How’s the bracelet quality? Thinking about ordering the one made for this watch, but wasn’t an option on the champagne dial
Personally I’m a big fan. It’s comfortable as well as durable, I have been wearing mine heavily for over a year and would say the bracelet is still in like-new condition. I had seen someone on here who had the champagne dial on the factory bracelet and it looked so good.
Thanks! Yeah I’ve seen it too, inspired me to do the same haha no clue why they don’t offer it for the champagne dial
It's the watch Hugh Laurie's character wears in the TV show 'House', if that's of any interest to you.
Khaki King! A beautiful piece. I've been eyeing this particular piece for years but haven't yet pulled the trigger; Hamilton is well known to be a great value for price, they punch above their weight and have a solid company history/reputation. You mentioned elsewhere that you are considering switching up the strap, definitely experiment! Mixing up straps can be a lot of fun.
Natos are fun, and you're also well situated if you want to go to bracelet-town the Hamilton ones are available and will work well with this piece. Wear it well, stranger.
Orii?
Pretty sure that’s a khaki king II is it not?
I can say that Hamilton makes good watches. At the same price point, it offers a better build than tissot.
It's an excellent watch, in my opinion. I just hiked the whole Appalachian Trail with one of these attached to my wrist.
Great watch! Looks good in nato straps as well.
It surely is a beauty! Great pairing!
It’s an automatic Hamilton with the a11 watch face. works fine
Hamiltons are great. Nice watch.
The Hamiltonis an excellent choice...Sorry for your loss...
Khaki king. I have the beige one. These things are awesome. Only knock is they can be a pain to set date, time and day. But they look great on the wrist.
Hamilton khaki King. its a great watch and i personally have one. not worth nearly as much as any of the oris watches especially if any of those were something like a big crown pointer date. but the khaki king is a great watch regardless.
buy yourself some flitz polishing compound on amazon and give the crown a polish and that watch will really pop.
