Thoughts?

Post by Masshole » April 13th 2021, 4:49pm

Just checking out the newest Ventura model. I wish silvertone was an option. I’m gravitating towards the rose gold although I’ve never owned a rose gold watch. For the Hamilton fans, what’s your thoughts on these?

Like the Ventura- I could live without the cardiogram. IDK why but it seems to be more pronounced on this style than on others.

The plating is ok if you're easy on cases. I am not.

My very first Hamilton. Haven’t worn this one in a while. Looks like I’ll have to put this back in the rotation.

Hamilton makes some nice other watches.

I wish they'd make a new Ventura that's more of an homage to to the original watch not new ones that are the horological equivalent of Jesse Ventura on steroids. The closest to what I'd prefer are current quartz models that look like the original electrics, but, you know.

I’ve never owned a vintage watch. I wouldn’t know where to begin.

You just did. Their are a number of us that have dived head first into the vintage realm and have a lot of knowledge. Look at models that strike your fancy and then ask questions. Movements, case, straps, repair documents and most importantly buy for you not what others like and if you’re a masshole and yell go yanks I’ll slug you.

The glitzy one is not my favorite Hamilton but anything from Hamilton brings back fond memories of Larry shitting his pants on live TV when Tim Temple detonated an inevitable lawsuit.

Not my favorite home shopping moment - that remains the guy that nearly de-nutted himself with a fake katana.

Check out this Hamilton Micro Rotor. Today micro rotors run in the thousands, but a good vintage is around 350.00, cheaper if you look around. I also got the linen dial with this micro rotor.
I researched this watch and knew it had a micro rotor. On eBay I found a seller who didn’t remove the back for movement picture and there were hardly any bids on it because people didn’t know, so I got it for a real good price.

A movement picture is in this thread.

I’m really loving that dial. Sounds like you struck gold with this one.
