I remember that I browsed the whole Hamilton line on a gray market seller (maybe it was Corso Vinci) and there was a 33 or 34 quartz on sale.

Actually it is 33mm !! It's a model 9797 from the Nineties. There's a similar Khaki field model produced to date.

It does take a few hours to adjust initially, because we are hardwired for larger dials today. Once adjusted, it's an unbelievable easy reader.

Welcome!! 🤝

Great choice, Hamilton is a brand with history and one I have a good experience with.

Congratulations, now take your time to appreciate your brand new watch. Have a nice journey in this hobby 😃

The F-91 is an icon, a living fossil, a watch produced for 35 years straight. Not God Tier, but relevant.

Just imagine if there was a production line still churning out 1989 Rolexes / Omegas / your favoured brand.

Thank you Joseph 🙏

I love my hometown. It took centuries to build that cathedral and a decade to clean the smog off the marble. I feel proud when I see visitors from all over the world lining up to visit.

Yes, I think I will love it.
