The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have been in need of two things in a watch with my current two Ling rotation....a) some WR for the rare occasion I go past the deep end of the swimming pool, and b) a ruggedness for hunting, outdoors, etc.

I did not want to spend a whole lot of money as this will be my designated "beater" only used on ranch weekends and slumming around East Austin where the hipsters give you the stink-eye if you have any flash.

Ultimately decided on a 42mm Hamilton Khaki Field in Titanium on a black kevlar style strap. Which I am pretty sure will suffice anywhere I plan on taking it.

I have really liked what I have seen from the Hamilton counter lately and for the price you really get a lot of bang for your buck. Hamilton is typically who I refer pals to when asked what is a nice watch watch you can get for under $1K.

Beyond that, with the big names pushing past my comfort zone and earning power in pricing, I have no problem turning to brands like Hamilton and Frederick Constant to fill specific gaps in my collection that will not get as much use.

i like this piece and i usually don't pay too much attention to hamilton. nice pick up

Pretty sharp Thomas. Not too shabby if you ask me. Congrats on the pick up.

I picked it up for $650 and I think retail is $950. Not bad at all in my book

This made me laugh. Nice watch, great pick up. I often go back to Hamilton and poke around the site. Wish I could see some close to me.

Looks like a great casual piece, easy to read, good size too, congrats!

Thanks fellas! My first nice watch (read $500+) was a Hamilton, so when looking for a beater ***I am an accountant not a rig worker*** I did not need much beyond 100m water resistance, automatic movement, and a rugged case. This was perfect for my needs!



In a town like Austin you have to beware of the bearded vintage set, who would prefer us spend all of our extra money on Co-Op memberships and craft beers! Nonetheless, I can wear this guy under the radar on the hipper, more ironic side of town.

Hammies pack a lot of value. Just picked up a King Scuba for my son's 18th birthday next month. He should love it because it's replacing an Invicta! (Photo borrowed from the 'net.)
