82KUBA Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hey Guys, I'm going to be the best man in my best friends wedding in a few weeks so I really wanted to give him a Gen as a gift. I couldnt afford a high end brand and I didnt want to go rep. So I went with a Hamilton because my buddy is a weapons engineer for the US Army and we all know the history between Ham. and the military. I think I did pretty well on this piece, MSRP was 1695 but after talking to the owner and finding out he is Ex-Military he let me walk-out with it for 1k cash. I saw this model for 890-975 online but I think I did good buying it from a Aut. dealer for a few bucks more. Guys I would love your feed back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Nice find! That is a great looking watch and I am sure your friend will love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utheman Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Nice choice! That's the Jazzmaster, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calatrava Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 For $1K vs. $850 from a grey market dealer, I would have done what you did and going with the AD. 40% off MSRP is a fantastic deal for an automatic Swiss Valjoux 7750 chronograph. Very clean, elegant, and subtle design. I heartily approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiesn089 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 These are great looking, very reliable watches. I've owned a Jazzmaster Viewmatic once, they make great dress watches. A beautiful gift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Agree with everybody. That's a nice looking watch- classy and clean. Hammy's are great because they're part of the Swatch group so you get the same 7750 mov't as watches costing 3 times the $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 very classic watch. I think hammies are often underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoam Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I've owned several Hamilton Autos and loved them all. Utheman can speak to that... Very nice watch and will last a lifetime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
