Circa 1980 Hamilton handwind MIL-W-46374B; 34mm diameter with 16mm lugs. This one is powered by 7j Durowe INT 7420-4. Wore it for quite a few years in the military, alternating between it and a 17j hacking Hamilton. Took this one in to have its movement refurbished as it was running a bit erratically. The watchmaker replaced the crystal even though I told him to leave the original in it. Came back looking new. Tritium lume is long gone.

Starting with the SMP today... i had really forgotten how comfy it is...  |

The new one you got does a great job of replicating the look. Acrylic crystal? I got a new strap for the Alpinist. Soft and comfortable perforated leather, in a length that's perfect for me. I no longer care about the bracelet. This watch looks fantastic on a black strap.  |

Very cool, John! Going with the HFT20 today. Wednesday I wore the watch you wore Tuesday, and today you're wearing the watch I wore yesterday.   |

Wow, very nice! Makes for a great set. Thanks for the pic! As far as the Seamaster is concerned, getting it- COA’d- for a few C notes makes it hard to pass up. Some day I’ll replace the bezel insert. |
