Hamilton BelowZero 1000M

[tushar310]

prefer Ball watches as their tritium gas tubes glow for 25 years in dark as compared to few minutes to hours in luminova based glow-system

1000 Euros Swatch

@13vafanculo Hahah! Just because Hamilton is owned by the Swatch group doesn't meant that they are the same as Swatch! Hamilton has its own factories and everything.

[tushar310]

@MattBailyJewelry taken from wikipedia: The Hamilton name brand is currently owned by The Swatch Group Ltd. Swatch Group Hamilton brand watches have grown increasingly popular. Modern Hamilton watches no longer use proprietary "in house" movements, instead using movements made by The Swatch Group's movement making subsidiary, ETA.

i would never buy any watch under Swatch group.....do u know how many customer complaints they get?...most of the times they void your warranty and charge you

@tushar310

That is not true at akk! I have 2 Tissot watches and one omega and a hamilton! I can tell you, I have never had a problem with my watches at all! They are solid watches in the medium price-range and they use very good material for the watches. The "Swatch-Group" owns so many brands and to say you would never buy a watch of this Group is absurd.

@13vafanculo Not an accurate statement at all. The Swatch Group owns Omega, Blancpain, Longines, Glashutte, etc. Hardly "Swatches."

In defence for the titanic DNA watches I'd like to say that they are really well made watches. The rust comes from the ex Romain Jerome CEO Yvan Arpa's obsession with the aesthetic of decay. But yes, I don't think anyone should be dipping into their savings to splurge on one. That is why I like Hamilton watches so much. Great price to quality ratio.

très belle montre, un de mes modèles préférés.

I think Bell&Ross was the first to do the all black PVD with their Airborne.

I don't understand the point either.

@georgegrasser its all put down to opinion

[georgegrasser]

@theownzer Except, unless of course, it's a scam. These watch corporations have deep pockets. I would not put is past them to have gotten together in a design meeting to make foolish looking watches to just see how gullible the wealthy can be. I felt that way for sure when the rusty Titanic DNA came to market.

[theownzer]

yes the titanic DNA and the moondust DNA are for ppl who dont know what to do with thier money, but an all black watch is a very nice looking watch to me, there for I want one, just Ide rather have a B&R all black or a Hublot all black then a hamilton

[MattBailyJewelry]

@georgegrasser hahah ... perhaps .. but I don't think they would have deep pockets if they were ridiculing their target market all the time.

[georgegrasser]

@MattBailyJewelry I'm really starting to get paranoid. I honestly would not be surprised if one day Patek just came out and said "You've all been Punk'd!"

Have you seen what a $4,400 Perrelet sells for these day's on Ebay?

I of all people own a Longines, a solid 18K Ebel 1911 a Concord Imperial and a Movado SE 0605910. My home is featureed in my Video: George Grasser for Longines. I would wretch if I were a member of the Gentry and found out some country bumpkin was wearing my watch.

[MattBailyJewelry]

@georgegrasser I've been to watch factories in Switzerland (there is a recent post on our blog about a visit to Alpina and Frederique Constant) and I can say that all these high end watches are extraordinary. I don't think anyone's gonna get punk'd ever. In the case of Patek you pay a considerable amount of money for the name, but that also pretty much guarantees that your watch will always be desirable and valuable (unless its a ladies' model). It comes down to supply and demand ...

[MattBailyJewelry]

@georgegrasser ... ran out of characters. Anyway, I can talk about watches all day. Perhaps it would interest you to join us on facebook (mattbailywatches) or twitter (matt_baily). Thanks

[MattBailyJewelry]

@georgegrasser You may be right about the brand, but their first all-black was the BR-01 Phantoms. Awesome watches. Visit the Bell & Ross section on our site to see all the models.

[mecagoenesteregistro]

Non-PVD version looks nice.For a diver's watch, the black one is useless.

[MattBailyJewelry]

@mecagoenesteregistro even if the all the markings glow in the dark?
