This was my first automatic watch, and my entry into the world of affordable watch collecting. I really like the high legibility of the dial and the slightly domed sapphire that curves the light just a bit

Can’t go wrong with a Hamilton! I have the all black day date and it’s one of my favorites.

I've got that one too. I do wish it had the red tipped second hand like this one, but the day complication is too cool.

I appreciate that you get these with bracelets, but mine lives on a rotation of NATO straps.

Nice, I have one too. Mine's engraved:

Probably dumb having ~$1000 of engraving on a ~$500 watch, but no accounting for taste, especially mine 😂

I’m really starting to think I’ll have one of these on my wrist by the end of the year. Great looking watch.
