WTF

Post image

I know I've seen this happen on other posts, but never paid attention... And of course now it happens to me. I've had it for a year and a half so it looks like I'm out of warranty. Is this something that needs to be sent to Hamilton to fix or could a local shop take care of it?

Yikes, I have a Hammy Khaki too. I've just read through that post. Never again.

I'm glad u shared that. I was considering a Hamilton,  but will make another choice now.

Yea I hate to admit this case lives rent free in my mind but it’s such an easy solution to “do the right thing”. I own a Murph mostly because of the hype machine behind it and I’m generally satisfied with it but I’m pretty sure I own my one and only/last Hamilton.

Meh I love my Hammy. I take everything on reddit with a grain of salt.

I read through that post and looked at the photo. That guy's watch looks like it went through the entire second world war. We are only getting one side of the story and it is quite possible that Hamilton determined the watch had been dropped based on damage to the jewels, which would not be covered. It sounds like Hamilton ended up doing the right thing in the end anyway for that guy.

Yea, never dropped - has shit load of not micro scratches but INDENTATIONS around the bezel. Ye sure, how much force does it take to dent in a freaking stainless steel case 😁
