    Did you choose the Hamilton because of the Swiss ETA movement? I read they are really good and hard to find .

    Hamilton held the contract for many of the mechanical watches worn by USA soldiers and pilots in Ww2. It's really because it's an example of a real "tool watch".

    It's OK if it gets scratched or muddy. It was built for tough going.

    I did not know that. I would prefer the tougher one myself especially where I wouldn't be delicate with it . Watches are meant to be worn .

    I'm confident MkII is the same. It's their spec version of a ww2 field watch.

    To me, it's elegantly plain with unique color scheme. I wear it whem traveling abroad, Saturday chores, some evening errands. Keeps time very well.

    Charlie is my sensei also. It's obvious he loves horology and engineering.
