Hamilton StormKing IV Military
My first attempt to post photos, so bear with me. The above photos are of a Hamilton StormKing IV Military that came in last month. I bought it on the ¡°Bay¡± as a ¡°Buy It Now¡± listing. The photos have been taken by Timewise, who has been servicing it and cleaning it up for me. Thanks to him, this watch looks great and operates fantastically!!! For those who can provide more information, please do. There does not seem to be a lot written about this model. For a company like Hamilton, which worshipped standardization, the StormKing IV Military was an odd watch. It operates on a 24 hour cycle.

Coke Ceramic Opinions
Would you prefer a coke with SS or BCLs, a coke with PCLs, or a coke in precious metal? What do you think the kind of coke will come out amongst the above? As far as coming out, I don't think it's going to be Basel 2018. I know a lot of people would like that, but I don't foresee that happening. I think Rolex is focusing on other timepiece changes and of course a new movement. Your thoughts?
