One Expensive Nicotine Patch

To calm those urges for a new glassbox TAG Heuer, I put this on and tell myself it’s gonna be okay… 😂

That said, I like the Hammy for what it is AND not because it’s comes close to those new beautiful watches. But I think there is something here… sorta like they are playing in the same pool, even if the Hammy is paddling in the shallow end 😂

Do you have a watch that keeps you from making impulse purchases?

I wish that worked for me. I have a watch purchase plan and it’s 6 watches long at the moment. The tag hurt isn’t on the list but I have to admit, that is a damn fun design. I haven’t held one but it sounds like that nailed it with the finish work too.

That Hamilton is a well designed watch as well. My wife wants one but I think it’s too chunky for her wrist.

·

If I were to though I would get the black dial. I can’t get enough of the big date at 12!

I like those Hamiltons. Looking at the three hander as a birthday/Christmas gift to myself

What you’re saying is that you need stronger drugs to cope with the urges? 😂 Bare, scratchy wrists will not do. Hope the 6 come to you fast in 2024 🍻

I can’t speak to her wrist, but on my 7 1/4” wrist it wears alright for being on the thicker end. Totally agree on the mechanical no-date… unfortunately was not released at the time I got this one or it’d probably sitting on my wrist right now 😂

It’s a great watch imo - don’t think you’ll be disappointed to find it at the bottom of your Christmas stocking! 🍻

·

I’ve always loved this watch.

·

I have the mechanical version…I don’t think the thickness is an issue on either version but the lugs are sneaky long…just something to be aware of

·

And I’m over here wishing I have this exact watch 😊

·

I love this Hamilton reference, but have yet to add one to the collection.

One of my buddies has the reverse panda and it is such a great looking watch.

Nicely done!

·

This watch keeps me from buying a Tudor BB58…I get so much pleasure from wearing it and makes me think a lot less about that BB58, lol.

Thanks. It’s one of those watches that just makes me smile. It’s between the Intra Matic and the Alpina Le Carree. Very different watches, I know, but both gimme that “gotcha” feeling. I’ll see if Santa puts any dead presidents in my stocking. Maybe I’ll end up with both! Merry Christmas!

Thanks!… But it hasn’t stopped me from staring daggers at that cherry red Carrera! 😉

I’ve considered getting the SPB143 (and variants) so many times, but I know it’d compete for wrist time with the 58… so same story but different shoe 😂

I love the Intramatic. Wears great, looks the part, and goes with so many straps. It has stopped me from buying other pandas. My really only criticism is the loud rotor, which is par for the course for the 7750.

Spot on with everything! Another reason I’ve considered the mechanical version, but still love the watch too much to give it up 😂

Agreed. I appreciate that the mechanical exists, but wouldn’t swap now.

2024 😁 hopefully I can get the intramatic 🍻

·

Great shot ... again! 👍🏼

·

I agree, great shot

Enjoy your watch.

Tbh, most of my watches are impulse purchases, but I enjoy all of them 😅 thinking about it for too long and a lot about this hobby doesn't make sense anymore.

·

I honestly think Hamilton makes the best looking chronographs, regardless of pricepoint. It’s such a balanced, well thought out and well proportioned design. I’d take this over a TAG any day. Gorgeous watch!

·

Very nice Hamilton Intramatic Chrono, Not me, I'm just staying with the desire and that's it 🤣🤣🤣
