[Hamilton Expedition] purchased on a site called trifectawatches, is it legit? (alien.top)
 

I’m shopping around on a website called trifecta watches and wanted to know if anyone else has shopped there. Is this a safe site for purchasing watches? I’ve never been there nor heard of it.

[Hamilton Expedition] How water resistant is this watch? (alien.top)
 

The specs say it’s 100m of pressure resistant to water and uses a screwdown crown. To me this sounds far more water resistant than the other field watch options that this sub has noted for not having watertight integrity (despite the specs of the watch they were wearing may suggest it should have that integrity).

I don’t want to dive with this watch but if I buy it I would very much want to wear it in the rain, fishing, hiking, anything outdoors not requiring full and continuous submersion.

Would like to hear your thoughts if you have experience with this watch or understand the design enough to articulate possible points of failure in its watertight integrity. Thanks all, happy holidays.

Can anyone attest to the water resistance of Hamilton’s new watches? I’ve read some posts here saying their WR rating is pretty much a lie and some (not all) will barely hold up to handwashing and high humidity. If they’ve redesigned their watches and have better quality for moisture and water I’d be sold, really hesistant rn tho.

A barely functioning Elgin pocketwatch. Parts serials say they were produced in the 1910’s, probably assembled later. Grandma gave it to me from her antique shop, very cool piece even though it’s seen better days.

Ngl…if it were me I’d delete the post/comments, delete my account, and keep them safe to honor my friend. Not advise or telling you to do anything, obviously.

Would never buy a watch on Amazon. If it’s a dupe and you find out when it’s too late you’re SOL.

If it falls in your range of acceptability, whatever that may be
