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.

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.

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 can say that Hamilton makes good watches. At the same price point, it offers a better build than tissot.

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

[–] FluffyWarHampster@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hate the stock strap on mine as well. the claps had a tendency to jab the inside of my wrist.

[–] batuckan1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s an automatic Hamilton with the a11 watch face. works fine

The Hamiltonis an excellent choice...Sorry for your loss...

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.
