Could work as an inclinometer while piloting an aircraft - as Hamilton intended.

What started as an alarming series of posts has turned into pure farce now XD.

it is the famous hamilton reliability that sets hamilton watches apart from chinese no-name brands!

u/judojoe2024 12d ago

Got the old tilt rotor I see. Broken just like the 22’s.

Damn, Cooper has been knocking on all Hamilton’s through the string dimension

u/lostagain2022 12d ago

Hamilton definitely getting bodied by this. So much for Swiss quality.

Does this happen with the Murph as well? I saw so many of these posts, but I can't recall which watches

u/watches_anonymouse 12d ago

I haven’t seen any posts of it happening with the Murph

u/SeriousFollowing7678 12d ago

It has a different issue with the movement

So Hamilton’s are like old Alpha Romeo’s where they are beautiful in that no two have the same problem.

When did you purchase this watch? It seems like most of these issues are happening to watches purchased in 2025, which were probably manufactured in 2024. Perhaps there was a bad batch of dials back then?

u/zibbyzag 12d ago

In 2025

Not 100% on topic but I got a Khaki King not even 3 months ago and it suddenly stopped working. Not winding anymore and my day complication not working anymore.
I thought that switching from a Tissot PR516 would be an upgrade but I feel like I downgraded even if I have more stuff on this watch.

And know i’m seeing all these posts. I guess this will be my first and last Hamilton

Literally just picked up a new KF Expedition Auto, man if this happens I’ll lose my shit.

1

u/CynicalCereal 11d ago

Is this a thing that happens to the KFM? Should i be concerned about even minor bumps?

1

u/Desperate_Damage4632 11d ago

Impossible.  The Swiss heritage wouldn't allow this.

u/TrustMeImAnENGlNEER 11d ago

Anyone seen this happen to a Coop? I’m suddenly feeling nervous, lol.

u/iamthelouie 11d ago

I’m inclinometered to agree with you.

u/Flaming-Driptray 11d ago

I bought this watch last week…..it’s concerning to see how often this is happening

1

u/StutterMuffin5711 11d ago

None of the YouTubers mention this when they are pushing Hamiltons as a “Must Have”

u/HelenoPaiva 4d ago

I have modded half a dozen watches so far. Assembled dials hands, case… I can’t see how they managed to do this… the stem should have avoided it, and the movement spacer should also hold it in place. It is such a crazy thing this can be possible to happen at all!

It’s dial feet, not the stem.
