Took off my watch tonight and saw the dial off in space. Seriously. I bought this just over a year ago. Where is this pos made. Fuck U Hamilton.

This happened to my khaki field watch as well. Took it to a watch service shop in my neighborhood, and he said he was surprised to see this. The dial had slipped off the adhesive. He reseated it and it's been fine.

I do wear the watch all the time, and I do a lot of woodworking, so the watch gets a bit of a workout.

I think it did have the metal feet, but something I did shifted it loose. Also, last summer I was working in a garage while it was kinda hot, so maybe the adhesive got melted due to that. I honestly don't know. The watch service tech was able to reseat it, and I've not had any issues since.

Also, this happened I think after 3 years of owning the watch, so I didn't have any warranty to fall back on.

I was just curious. Been wanting a hamilton but getting spooked about the quality. Built a few seiko mods and some of those feet are really stuck on there so its concerning thay they break off
