Have I bought a turkey?
Hello everyoneI'm new to the forum, having purchased my first Hamilton watch.Over the years I've had the usual stuff - Rolex, Omega, Breiting, Panerai, Jaeger. In truth, owning some of these pieces has been the kudos in being seen wearing them.I'm now looking at watches because I LIKE them. Recently I've had a number of TW Steels but whilst I still enjoy wearing a large watch I'm finding that 50mm is just that bit too big.So, my first Hamilton is a Khaki Pilot 46mm with black dial and dark brown strap, although I have also bought the light tan strap and S/S bracelet to fit. Amongst many features, I love the easy-to-read face and the fact that as I move the watch about the numerals pick up the colours around them until I look at the dial full on when the S/S shines out.Imagine my dismay therefore on browsing the forum to find that my watch does not appear popular among Hamilton devotees and might even have a cheapo Chinese movement!Before I throw the watch into the skip, is there anyone

Antimagnetic Watches
Received the following about Sinn's approach to magnetic fields and I thought I'd share it with all of you. Please feel free to also provide details on how other watches approach magnetic fields, such as Rolex Milgauss for example. For those Sinn watches that offer the maximum protection of 80,000 A/m,:1. Using special case materials and steel that feature highly anti-magnetic properties. Since Sinn produces many of these cases in-house through their affiliated company SUG in Glashutte, Germany, they have more control over the case building process and materials used in those cases.2. The case back also integrates materials and components to shield the movement. For example, my 857 does not have a "movement cover" made of soft iron. The materials are built into the case back.3. The movement itself is mounted using components to shield against magnetism.

24mm Ladies Datejust advice
My bride compared her 28mm datejust with a friend¡¯s 24mm and has her heart set on one. Sadly they are discontinued and i cannot get a straight answer from our AD. How long ago were they eliminated and is there a significant risk in buying a 10+ year old model?
