My LumTec needs service again. I’d like another black faced Watch to wear while it’s being worked on. Any thoughts on a Hamilton Auto?

They are good watches. Shop around and get one you like.

Looks an awful lot like the field titanium I've been eyeballing. Go for it, reasonably priced and if you don't like it flip it.

I have been eyeing one of those for some time I just haven’t pulled the trigger.

Seeing as how I wore one today (my version of casual Friday) and it’s my favorite watch (above my Omega and Tissot) I say go for it.

Serviced again? What is wrong with your LumTec? They are tough ass watches.
What about a Scurfa diver for your everyday duties? |

I'm wearing the watch in the OP right now. I bought it two weeks ago from an AD as a birthday gift for myself. It IS the titanium model. The accuracy has been around +2spd.
I am very happy with it, but you should be aware of two design niggles. The obvious date placement cutting the three in half, and "titanium" is etched on the left side of the case. These don't bother me at all, but are reasonable criticisms. It has the h10 movement with 80 hour power reserve. I love that. The lume is average, but I can read it most of the night. Not as bright as my lum-tec or seiko divers. |

I've had the stainless base / bracelet version for years. I keep beating it and beating it and it keeps going.
For such a basic field watch, it's put up with a ton of abuse. After my experiences with the Khaki auto, I ended up buying a couple more Hamiltons. They've been good to me as a brand. |

I had the stainless case/brown strap version. I liked the watch a lot, but the lack of AR drove me crazy and I didn't care for the design of the dial.

The ~first watch I bought in the service was a Hamilton Khaki, manual wind.
I lost the crystal, kept it for a long time and then inquired with Hamilton as to the cost of replacing it.. I remember it being too expensive / more than a replacement. so I didn't do it. I wonder what I did with it (?) guess I'll have to buy another .... eventually

I had one years! Ago. Great watch I wore everyday. Never took it off. Shooting,chainsaw,dirt bike, etc.
Side note. Recently emailed Lume etc on two different days random questions before buying. Never got a reply. So I decided not to buy one... |

Been looking at the same watch for a couple weeks now. Actually have my AD getting one in so I can see it up close.
I know there are two movements available and have seen the ones with the older movements listed in the $600 range online. |

The lack of AR glass really bothers me, so now I’m looking at the Laco Altenberg, same movement as the Lumtec and a used Damasko with an ETA movement. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Funny. I'm wearing that watch right now. It's by far my favorite and my favorite thing about it is the dial. I think it's the best dial in the world. It has everything without feeling crowded. Overall, I liked the watch a lot, but they could have done a better job with it.  Attached File |
