Are there any current models that match these specs? I’m fine with quartz! It seems like in the past there were maybe some models, such as the H684410, that were just what I’m looking for. That model seems incredibly hard to find in white (if you know ...

That model seems incredibly hard to find in white (if you know of any or have one in great shape, I’m interested).

Any other options I’m missing?

Hi folks,

I have decided to pull the trigger and purchase new Hamilton Khaki Power Reserve. I was thinking quite a lot if I should buy white or black dial version and still have some doubts.

Despite being busier this new dial looks more balanced to me. Looks like there is more space visually and numbers are smaller overall.

I was originally thinking about black dial version because of heritage and history. Also 38mm white dial looks like cheap plastic toy to me. Now I'm actually tending…

My son bought this version of the Khaki (HW) at last week's "Hamilton Festival" at Lancaster. PA. Red brick embossed dial with a couple of straps and the other shown stuff. I traded my Grand Seiko SBGW301 for it, straight up. I'm a big fan of the Khaki.

I am asking because it needs a clean from something that left some sort of residue and since I bought this secondhand I don't exactly know what is going on there.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this watch community as my passion for watches started recently.
I have a concern why my new watch makes a clicking sound every time the rotor makes about two turns.
Is this sound normal, or should I go to the watchmaker?
I've attached a video of the sound. Thanks very much.

I’ve asked at a few shops over the years about servicing my field chrono but I think I’m asking the wrong type of place because they don’t seem interested (maybe that’s too little of a watch for them ? ) I’m a bit weary of asking any ol’ place as I’m sure it takes skill and experience but I imagine shops selling omega and the like don’t want to deal with Hamilton .. Any thoughts on finding an appropriate place ?

I went with the H24411732, as that model maintains the style of the original. Until I actually tried it on, I was concerned about the L2L – 50.9mm on a 165mm wrist is pretty iffy. However, the compact case dimensions – 36mm x 32.5mm x 9.6mm – seem to compensate. So, it feels right at home on my wrist.

Even though I…

I'm not talking about it being my or a "grail" watch. I'm also not saying it's the watch I can't live without; I don't think I'm far enough into my watch journey to be able to say that yet.

But what I can say now, is that the Expedition feels like the watch I would rather not go without.
