I laughed out loud at this. It’s a list of pretty reasonable complaints to keep in mind, and it ends with buying two of them. Watch collecting in a nutshell.

The toothpick is mightier than the pen in this case

[scrubsjl]

Nice video, Appreciate you also naming some things you don’t like about it. Still looks stunning on your wrist🙏

The thickness is a bit better on the manual wound version, but then agreed with the date change. It's due to the valjoux 7750 movement architecture that's a native 12-9-6 layout being converted to 9-6-3 layout or bicompax layout, causing lack of room for the date adjustment on top of the keyless mechanism due to it being replaced with minute counter wheels at 3 o'clock. Not only this Hamilton, but as well happens tissot prx chrono, Longines master bicompax chrono, heritage 1967, heritage avigation, heritage pulsometer, heritage monopusher, Speedmaster reduced 3330, seamaster chronograph 3330 or any watches that have base movement 7753.

You could use a wooden or plastic toothpick to change the date without risking scratching it. 😁

It's beautiful! Buying another one was the right decision!! 😅

I just bought this watch and I am close to buying the blue dial version as well. The date pusher is easy to handle - a toothpick does the job easily. For me it has the right size and it neither feels chunky nor imbalanced on my wrist. Maybe because I trained with two Russian chronographs of similar dimension. If you are patient, you can easily buy these watches second hand in good condition for 1.400 US-Dollar. In the US they are a little bit cheaper than in Western Europe, although they are produced in Switzerland, not in the US anymore. Maybe it's because Hamilton is a traditional US brand and better known and sold as here. There are even two more options: the bigger and limited black Panda with 42 mm case diameter and a green Panda version with 40 mm case diameter like the one in this video. Great watch for sure.

The date pusher is a pain the ass for sure. I’ve been messing around with a bunch of old seiko 5 automatics lately and some have the crown set at 4:00 with a push button day changer. Pretty cool innovation. I wonder why it’s not used more for day complications on automatic watches with no hand winding.

This one is on my list of temptations I have thus far resisted. Odds of reaching my 50th birthday without one are not high.

Getting the exact same one with the same bracelet at the end of the year.

One of these on my left wrist and the Rolex 50mm submariner on my right

I was real real close going for this when it came out. As I've been hemming and hawing I weighed my options and decided against this Chronograph. Nice video. Hey, what is that beautiful tan strap you have with the holes in it? Gorgoues.

[UltraDoug]

Yeah I owned that a while back. I really enjoyed it. The thickness was a bit much, but I didn’t mind the rest of what you mentioned. What finally made me sell it was my wife telling me it looked like Jack Skellington from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. After that I couldn’t un-see it. Silly, but then again so is buying a $1500 watch.

[GreeKlimes]

That's Bulova Snoopy Lunar Pilot is looking better and better everyday

[Robin-wdvw]

It’s beautiful. Would the bracelet also fit to a Hamilton khaki auto?

[scottlovespeaks]

I just got mine two weeks ago and it's my new favorite. Just one more watch and I'll stop lol

[Euphrical]

To change the date via the pusher, just grab a paperclip 📎, unfold it, & you can easily use that.

[weeklywash]

My wrist size is similar to yours. I was looking at this watch but what would you recommend as a substitute for this. I wanted chronograph that would have similar aesthetic like a bit more dressed up

[Sanjuro]

That sporty brown leather has a nice tone, where did you get it from?
