I love putting mine on glossy shell cordovan straps.

I find Reversos work better on straps that don't taper too much.

How does an ingenieur get magnetised in the first place? 155sec slow a day is shocking.

I actually would love to try this on because i think it looks sexy af. Can you tell me if the bead blasting finish is smooth to the touch or grainy feeling?

Ive owned both, the Hamilton a few times in fact, and they never stayed long in the collection.

AR coating on Hamiltons at this price point is near non existent, and the glare on the crystal when outdoors made it very difficult to see the dial. May be a minor issue for you though.

The alpinist had its illegibility issues also. The black dial version has high polish hour markers which just disappear on the dial.

I would urge you to take a look at the Serica 6190. Chrinometer.

Dimension wise it's in a similar range (37.7mm wide, 10.4mm thick ans 20mm lug width). They're 990€ at retail so a bit more than the Seiko and Hamilton but you get COSC certified movement and 200m WR with a screw down crown, and im certainly enjoying mine. Also the case finishing is very impressive at this price point.

There are 3 dial versions and you can choose to have your crown at either 3 or 9 o'clock.

I also have a seiko 5 field gmt which im also enjoying. Its not as robust as the Hamilton or the Alpinist, and doesn't keep time particularly well, and is a little thick, but for around £400 it could certainly be an option for you. AND its a GMT.

......a little depressing as Im utterly broke lol

black dial version is pretty sexy imo glad to see exhibition casebacks too.

meh. IMO a 37mm diver with a rotating bezel is going to look tiny, it's only going to work on petite wrists.

White dial GMT seems to be getting a lot of buzz, but unless theres been major change to it thickness it's still going to be unwearable for me personally.

They have some nice looking watches, but most of them are too wide and too thick for my wrist unfortunately.
