Hamilton - the Wrost watch I ever own - only last for 3 year then need a major overhaul. Can't stand heat. Will cost you $300-400 just for regular maintance

[grnapo]

i love this watch. i was undecided on the black dial or white dial. i ended up buying both. i wear this watch watch to work and even wear it when i dj. i hands are constantly moving. dont be afraid to wear it. its feels like a tank! just recently bought a breitling skyracer! but its on back order and should be on my wrist in time for my birthday.

I've had 3 watches with the Valjoux 7750 having this malfunction: Start the chronograph, then stop it without resetting it to zero. While the chronograph seconds & minute subdials remain stopped, the hour subdial continues to advance along with the movement. If you're trying to collect a series of intermittent time measurements, this can mess you up. None of mine with this malfunction did it every time- only randomly. The only correction is to overhaul it (expensive). What's up with that?

[MrVascoS]

@arkom63 That is NOT a malfunction. That type of movement includes the STOP and GO Cronograph feature. So, what you have to do is push out the Hour-Date bezel and use de cronograph pushers to set them to zero again.

Does anyone know where to get the bracelet for this? I own the watch but can only find leather or canvass straps for it...

[michaelsteinbach]

I have this watch with the black rubber strap as seen in the movie "I Am Legend". Very large watch, I wear it to work every day. Sadly, I dropped it on tile last week and it's in Chicago being repaired.

Currently wearing Ventura XXL.

[tomee7]

you went the whole review without even showing us how the extra crowns work!

[breitlingsource]

I explained it, i just didn't turn them.. the result is not all that remarkable.. the chapter ring simply turns...

[n4292936]

I own this piece and love it. It's my beater watch but it's utilitarian design, robust construction and weight have made it a watch I love to wear outdoors. It's great on a number of straps and has strong wrist presence. Good buy. Good review!

[MrZol]

dont you have to be careful w/ a automatic ? i own automatic's and afraid im gonna break em if i wear em outside(like sports and working)?

[n4292936]

I've never neen overly careful with this watch, having worn it during my hike on the Appalachian Trail this year. It's a petty robust watch. Quality automatic watches are designed to sustain a certain amount of shock and continue to function, after all.

[MrZol]

thks for the reply ! i also wear mine outside and for work. i just worry sometime's . i dont wear quartz's anymore. somethin bout a true automatic. i dont like them eco drive thingy's either lol. cool to hear from someone who wear's a hamilton. i got a khaki field 42 mm chrono 7750. it runs great !

[trevskiw2008]
