Thanks! I don't know what it is about this watch, but I am so smitten with it. The aesthetic is so perfect for me, and I love looking at it. Plus, it's fun to wind every morning.

I know a guy

@seawolf The guy is probably a crusty old salt who hangs around the goat locker all day complaining about the young kids these days.  :). Thanks for doing what you do Senior!!

@goosehd Ha! Wow, am I a crusty old salt? Sheesh, I guess so. When did that happen?!

Thank you for your service CTA2!

I think he was joking. Fun fact: @mclaincausey was my very first paying customer.

@seawolf I’ve been out for 21 years and still miss the camaraderie of military life.  Enjoy your time and don’t let the kids get the best of you!

Just to clarify, I worked directly for the command Senior/Master Chief’s and Master Gunnery SGT at my three duty stations and was given an extensive training in Naval Vocabulary by all of them.

I’m sure you know what I mean.

I respect the Chief’s/Warrant’s tremendously and can’t thank them enough!

I sure do know what you mean There's definitely some great Chiefs out there; I strive to be one of them

Just spent a few days on vacation in Vegas and was surprised that a few people noticed the watch. It’s pretty low key.

Another pic just for giggles

[Seul]

I like that!.. Beautiful in its simplicity!..

[Giles]

You talking about Doug?

[Seul]

I don't have the sources to obtain a couple of thousands of bear traps, so I am definitely not talking about Doug…

@DougNg that is a beautiful watch. I've scoured Hamilton's Euro website and can't find this model for sale, but it is a relatively new release, correct?

[Stuart.T]

OK, Hamilton site suggests it is not currently available from their site.

[DougNg]

Currently only available at Revolution Watch. They have an exclusive for a little while

You gotta be tough around here…my wife's choice perfume is Lady Vengeance by Juliette Has a Gun
You can't make this shit up...

[DougNg]

Another Hamilton coming out soon. I’m tempted to get this when funds open up

[mclaincausey]

Nice one–I'd love the green but would miss the blue(-d?) hands

[DougNg]

Well this is a bummer.

If you plug the image into eleif.net, and use the lug to lug distance as the control, the horizontal measurement of the Boulton is 33mm (kind of large for a retro reissue), and the lug to lug distance is 50mm, which is massive. That's bigger than my 42mm Seamster. I think the lug to lug on the SMPc is 47 or 48mm, and that's really the limit of what I'll tolerate.
