Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
Lol, that's about right, don't buy this watch for the lume. I had just taken this for him, fully charged, but it'll look like your shot in 10-15 minutes.CGSshorty wrote:giorgos mg wrote:Anyone with a lume shot of the beauty?

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
I've had the regular version too, and I actually think the tinted lume on the no-date is a little better than the older version, but it doesn't last long at all. That said, my other watches are divers, which probably isn't a fair comparison. But lume is definitely not a strong suit for Hamilton, at least with the 3 Khakis I've had.giorgos mg wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 7:48 amTook this one a couple of years ago.

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
I totally agree with you!
Especially compared with divers watches.
That is good though that the new one is a little better
Thank you

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
Yeah the lume sucks. Don't buy it for that.
The new khaki navy scuba is the only hammy I've seen that has decent lume.

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
If someone asked me to decide for one watch to live with, I m 95% sure that it would be it
Now I just have to wait and see when it will be available here

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
Well I got stupid and bought my first new watch in years. Really wished they did is a tad smaller. You guys are use to BIGGER watches me not that much.
The remake
The original
Side by side comparison. Think I mite like it's smaller brother better you can get those still cheap today compared to the remake. Will have to see if I bund with this watch or I will sell it for a loss. You never get back what you pay for a new one. The strap sucks that came with it first thing I did was get rid of it and put a better NATO on it.

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
Looks great Mike. I think 38mm is about perfect for that watch. I personally couldn't wear a watch any smaller without thinking it looked funny on me.
Still planning on picking one of those up soon...

Spending some discretionary funds setting up a home darkroom. As soon as that's complete I'll probably pick up the Hamilton.

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
Ah. I was just kidding. I kind of wish I'd waited - I paid full retail but they've already come way down. Oh well, it's a cool watch, and even at retail a bargain.logan2z wrote:Spending some discretionary funds setting up a home darkroom. As soon as that's complete I'll probably pick up the Hamilton.

Has anyone seen the brown dial version?

I think I want one even though I’m sure I’d think it was too small.jswing wrote:Ah. I was just kidding. I kind of wish I'd waited - I paid full retail but they've already come way down.

Re: New Hamilton Khaki Field Reissue
I'd say it'd probably feel small to you, but you wear a 103 and the Hamilton has basically the same LTL. Probably be good to try on first though.CGSshorty wrote:I think I want one even though I’m sure I’d think it was too small.jswing wrote:Ah. I was just kidding.

True, and the Hamilton is very thin.CGSshorty wrote:The 103 has wrist presence due to the thickness.jswing wrote:I'd say it'd probably feel small to you, but you wear a 103 and the Hamilton has basically the same LTL.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a lighting issue and they only come in black.
