The Hamilton is the best bang for the buck Swiss auto field watch out there. I have the blue and black dials on steel.

Nice!  Thanks for sharing.  I've actually been thinking about getting the Longines Legends Diver or the Oris Aquis.

How did those watches wear?  Do you have any impressions you would like to share?

Welcome!!

I really like the Longines - the internally rotating bezel is pretty sweet! I really liked the Oris Aquis too! So - I didn't get a true total impression of every watch as most needed to be adjusted to fit my wrist - but overall general impressions: the leather'ish band/straps are definitey not my favorite (Nomos, and Hamilton  for example), some rubber straps (the non-depolyable / clasp style) feel pretty good - Doxa, I'm looking at you - if it was orange, I might have gone home with two!

I really liked pretty much every watch there. They all something unique about them. My hands down favorite was the Omega Seamaster...the color, the band, the fit / finish, a complete amazing package - but I couldn't justify the price, today.

I really liked the Tissot Carbon - really unique!

The Seikos are super impressisve - especially for the money!!

Our guide, Javier ("Javey") was wearing the Seiko Cocktail Time - almost went home with one of those too, very, very elegant, at a NICE price! He changed the strap out to a nicer, blue alligator strap, it really elevated it!

Definitely worth the visit to Teddy's - we were there for several hours and looked at all the displays, got the full tour, etc. They do a nice business and I would definitely go again! They are all watch people....NOT watch snobs - key difference!

Great post OP!

I really should stay out of this forum.  This site makes my credit card scream as it is,  but this corner is a whole different ballgame.

I love the Hamilton. Your take home is classy as all get out.

Thanks for the pics.

10,000 years ago there was a 2 mile thick glacier parked right here and not 1 SUV to melt it.

The old store was really nice but small. I can’t wait to see the new one.

I saw video / pix of the old store - you're right, it did look small - the new place is perfect and very, very nice!

Nice choice. Those that Certina in green definitely caught my eye.
