Hi,
Does anyone know if there were the following models of Hamilton watches with ETA 2824/2824-2, ETA 2801/2801-2 movements, not with H movements?

• Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Mechanical 36mm (Ref. H76419531),
• Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm (Ref. H69439131);
• Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition Automatic 41mm (Ref. H70315130).

When were they manufactured?
Thanks!

Hello,
What would you choose, between the Smiths PRS- 29A and the Yema Flygraf Pilot M1?
Can you give me some technical arguments, please?
Smiths has an ETA 2801-2 movement, it is WR 100 m, Yema has an in-house Yema 2000 movement, it is WR 300 m. Is the Yema movement an ETA clone or a Sellita? Does it have silicone parts?
If the parts of the Yema watch break, can they be replaced with ETA/Sellita parts?
Thank you!

Good evening,
I have seen that many watch companies sell military-style watches, the so-called pilot and field watches.
I am referring to IWC, Breitling, Bremont, Micromilspec, Ball, Yema, MAT (Mer, Air, Terre), but also Stowa, Laco, Sinn, Dekla, Hamilton, Seiko, MWC, CWC, Zeno, Steinhart, etc.
Do these watches have military characteristics or is it just a matter of marketing?
On the website of such companies it is written that they are suppliers/have contracts with various branches of…

military-style watches

Good evening,
What is the difference between a pilot watch and a field watch?
It is clear that when the two types of watches were created, they were made with a purpose, having certain characteristics: to be used by pilots in the cockpit of the plane or when the plane crashed and they survived, respectively by the armed forces fighting on the ground.
Now, are these names justified, considering the characteristics of these watches?
Thank you

Hi,

Are old quartz or solar watches worth buying? I saw some aluminum Swatch Ironys at a friend's house, which were from the late 90s or mid-2000s. Looking in the G-Shock database, I found many interesting models, but some were also from the same period (late 90s or mid-2000s) as my friend's Swatches. If these watches break, can they be repaired? Can functional parts be found for such watches, if such parts are possible to replace?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Adrian

Hi,

I want to find a solar G-Shock watch, but with hands and indexes like a mechanical watch, and without anything with an electronic display, if possible.

With a metal case, preferably, which is 200 m WR, robust, shockproof and reliable.

Ideally, it would have the basic functions of any watch of this kind.

With a metal bracelet, preferably. If possible, it should have a diameter between 36-42 mm, because I have a weak wrist.

What can you recommend?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Adrian

Hi,

I have a few questions, and I would like to ask you, if possible, to help me clarify them.

What is the difference between an outdoor watch, a sports watch, and a survival watch?

They are apparently the same thing, but each name has a different meaning. I don't understand how these names apply to each type of watches, what are the characteristics of each category.

What are the characteristics of each?

Can you give me examples of mechanical watches that fit into each category?

Are…

outdoor watch, sports watch, survival watch

Good evening!

I have a few questions, and I would like to ask you, if possible, to help me clarify them.

What is the difference between a GADA (go anywhere do anything) watch, a workhorse watch and a beater watch?

Can you give me examples of mechanical watches with automatic or manual winding movements, that fall into each category?

Can we say they are equally robust, shock resistant and reliable?

Thanks,

Best regards,

Adrian

Hi everyone,

It is my first post here. I am asking a question that has been nagging me for a very long time. How can realize if a watch I want to buy from a website on the internet, given that I can only see pictures or at most a video of the mechanism, is a franken watch?

Thanks,

Best regards,

Adrian
