Love the metallic silver sunray dial on this. It’s subtle but catches the light beautifully. Really frames the red and black elements.
Wealth is the least meaningful metric by which to judge a person's value.
Re: What Is Your Favourite Part Of Your Watch?
So having trawled all over and dithered about Baltics, bronze STOWA, used Tudor Rangers with silver dials, and dozens of Teddy videos, I decided I wanted a field watch with domed sapphire, 38/40mm, Arabic numbers, and no dive bezel. Something distinctly opposite to my 300 Trident diver. I ended up making a late night purchase of this Hamilton.
The bits that really sucked me in were the ‘slabby’ brushed sides that I really liked on Tudors I saw that really contrasted with the very polished bezel on Hamiltons and the great way the dial has a sunburst pattern in the centre with lots of different textures and finishes. I like the 13-24 numbers too, that don’t look too busy. I direct live news bulletins that start at 14, 15 & 16, so that will be useful.
It has an old fashioned vibe. It’s a H70455553.

Richard that is soo predictable!

Dial text is where it’s really at - the more the better. Dare I say superlative!

Life is better not having a Smart Watch disturbing you every few minutes, not having a Smart Watch constantly giving you false dopamine hits, not having a Smart Watch mean you're constantly in contact with everyone in your life all at once...
Re: What Is Your Favourite Part Of Your Watch?
My favourite bit of Rolexs and Tudors is the chunky bits around the dive bezel. They really nail that.

Re: What Is Your Favourite Part Of Your Watch?
Pretty much all the polished elements of the Light Catcher case appeal to me and especially the polished shoulders above the crown on C60s. Here though is the first Anthropocene: less shoulder pad , more off-the-shoulder cocktail frock.
C60 MKI, MKII, MKIII: "some",
C6 & C60 Kingfishers,
C600 Tritechs,
C63 "some",
C65 "some",
C4, C40, C8, C9, C3, C5, C20 & 23FLE
Some other brands

^^^ Same for me. That shoulder view of the lightcatcher case is mesmerizing. Especially on the crown side of the C63 elite, with the crown tucked neatly in, never bothering the back of my wrist.

The dial, it’s all about the dial. The contrast between the rings and the textured repeating twin flags logo, all set off with a subtle use of red highlights.
This is a watch designed by a highly talented team.

Actually now my UV torch has upped my lume, the Trident going over the hour hand has become a favourite.
Re: What Is Your Favourite Part Of Your Watch?
@LambethCW Your Hamilton pictured above is a wonderful watch. I have a similar model in Ti with no date and black dial (zoom pic in thread above) that’s an all time favorite. Love your silver dial example.

Re: What Is Your Favourite Part Of Your Watch?
Thanks, arriving tomorrow. I flirted with a Murph and black or white but liked the basic field design. I actually accidentally chose silver thinking it was white. My CW is blue so I thought white would be different. It was at payment that I noticed it was silver.
There was a Ti version with a green dial also.
