Do I like this watch TWO much? | Hamilton Khaki Field Auto H703050
Welcome to Addicted to Watches,
Today we're taking a look at my first experience with the brand Hamilton. I came across a dial design that really spoke to me. The problem was it wouldn't shut up! In the end I picked up 2 different colours of the same watch, but I don't know if they can both stick around forever.

  • @MrArachne11
    @MrArachne11 14 днів тому

    I own the SRPE61, basically the same as in the video but with a brushed bezel to avoid it being a scratch magnet. As long as you don't buy it for the retail price you can't go wrong if you're looking for decent specs on an everyday "first automatic" that's versatile and a strap monster. And with some slight changes like swapping the hardlex for a sapphire cristal you can easily make it even better without breaking the bank. Give it a try and have your fun with it, might be the last half-way decently priced Seiko.

    SARX029 is the better watch, released in 2016. I have had it since early 2020 from Japan. Seiko don't think the newer watches are better they just slightly upgraded the movement and doubled the prices in AUD from the SARX029 which retailed in Melbourne for $1,350 with the 6R15 to the new close but uglier SPB405 which is $2,600 with the 6R35 or the more boring SJE081 for $5,950 with the 6L35. The differences you are paying for is the Presage range price increases over time from 2016 to 2023 and the latter you are paying for the range increase over time but for the actual upgraded movement. Nice video!

    I own the Sarb021 and Sarb023. Bought them both around 2014. Also owned the Sarb033 and Sarb017 but sold them off. Do regret selling the Alpinist. Sarb021, it's absolutely stunning in real life. Although the Sarb023 is essentially the same watch, it's less interesting. Its still gorgeous due to the angular and aggressive case detailing, but it's let down by the white dial.. its very matt and just has no pop in comparison to the striking black dial of the Sarb021.
