 Hamilton Men's Khaki X-Wind watch #H77616533 By: Hamilton Average Rating: 3.0 Total Reviews: 4 More Information Amazing Watch  On: 2008-06-16This watch looks like its worth many times its $1K pricetag. Everything about this watch says quality. The leather strap is very thick and looks like it is worth $100 just by itself. The watch has a lot of heft to it and has a nice size face. The valjoux 7750 movement (which another reviewer mentioned) is used in almost all Swiss chronographs and is considered to be a durable, workhorse automatic movement. Most of the watches that use this movement (such as Breitling) sell for thousands more than this watch. Only problem with this watch is that all your other watches will pale in comparison to it. I never want to wear any of my other watches these days. Surprised to find that some reviewers had a bad experience with this watch. If you look on the watch forums online you will find that this watch is considered to be the gold standard for affordable Swiss chronographs. This may be the kind of watch that you should purchase from a jeweler (I bought mine at Kay Jewelry) so that the salesperson can explain to you exactly what you are buying. Didn't work  On: 2007-11-14Lovely watch, unfortunately I had to send it back as changing the date was not possible due to some malfunction. Not what youd expect for the price so I didnt reorder. Mack On: 2007-08-15Im the proud owner of a Limited Edition "Rose Gold" x-wind. This is a great watch with a valjoux 7750 movement which is the base movements for many prestigeous watches. My advice is when buying watches of this caliber, you should be dealing with a Jeweler not some joe over the internet. Below is Hamiltons statement: HAMILTON does not sell any watches on the Internet. HAMILTON merchandises its watches exclusively through our worldwide network of authorized wholesale and retail distributors. Therefore, any purported HAMILTON watches offered for sale, particularly on the Internet, by a seller who is not authorized by HAMILTON, could be counterfeits or of dubious origin and thus not guaranteed by HAMILTON. No Warranty On: 2007-01-11What a rip off. A $700 watch which needed a complete overhaul for $158 to begin working. This was discovered past the 30 day time limit allowed, and there is no warranty. Will never buy a watch on the internet again. |
