Default Hamilton Watch Opinions needed

I been thinking about getting a Hamilton Watch for a while but reviews are hard to come by and don’t know anyone that actually has one. From what I have heard, they are great watches and definitely worth the money.

I am thinking about getting one of the following (as pictured below in no particular order) automatic watches.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

One of the watches I am interested is gold plated and some sort of black plating. Does anyone know how sturdy this plating is? Will it wear off?

Also, some of these have rubber bands? Do you guys have experience with rubber bands? are they comfortable?

Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks.

Not the Navy Regatta, or the gold and "carbon" monstrosity, I like the others though...might have to pick up a copter myself...what do those run?

As for rubber bands, I assume they're nice rubber bands (and not like the old timex ironman bands I used to wear) that said, I had a Momo watch with a rubber band that was the most comfortable watch I've ever worn.

i dont know why, but I really like the gold/carbon monstrocity!!!!

as best as i can tell, the hamilton x-copter retails for about $1,400. but a simple search on google leads me to believe that it may bea hard to find piece.

here are a couple of other pics:

back, which is pretty slick:




and here is a link to hamilton watch which describes this watch in detail: http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/webapp/...24_42136_p.pdf


and out of these, the regatta is probably my least favorite. something about it just doesnt add up to me.

The Khaki X-Wind Automatic Pink Gold Plated is the one that stands out the most to me. The gold plating adds some elegance; it also seems to have the least red in it (aside from the copter, but I don't like the styling of that one too much). Somehow having red in a high-end watch looks weird to me.

I saw this guy today and I loved it. I was really surprised actually cuz it is huge. Here is a pic:




I like the air race and for $600 street price is pretty awesome deal.

But for $400 more I can get the copter which is really uniquie.

But then, the belowzero is just badass for another $200 or so... aaagh, cant make up my mind!
