Greetings, I just got myself a new Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman. I backed out of the Rolex deal for a while but had to get something to satisfy the addiction. Hamilton makes some really nice watches, and you know guys, they've been around since 1892 (ahem...longer than Rolex) which gives them a pretty nice history. The Frogman is cool. Titanium case and I got the OD canvas strap. However, I think it would look better with a NATO so I ordered one of those. ETA 2895-2 movement; clean lines; easy to read - and the stem cover gives it some uniqueness. Not bad for under $350. -Ben

Nice Hamilton. Good luck with it. I had a Khaki Auto before. It's a great brand.

Very nice Yes, they make great watches What is the size of the case? The case is 40mm. To the end of the stem cover is 45mm. There is also a clear back to view the movement. Hard to see, though, with the canvas strap as it covers the back. Funny. Someone at work tonight asked me if it was a vintage WWII watch! -Ben

Thanks... It does have a vintage look which I really like... I am a big fan of the Khaki line... thinking about getting one of those GMT models... let's see if the taxman is going to be nice this year
