I just bought one of those from Ali...I've been looking at the Hamilton Khaki Field mechanical for a while but cant justify the price tag (650 euro for the 38mm,750 for the 41mm). For a wind only movement in such a simple watch is too much, plus i havent heard good things about it, i've encounter folks that had them fail and service was expensive. I much prefer abusing a 55 euro watch that looks the same than a finicky expensive one.Maybe i buy a Hamilton in the end or maybe i like this cheap one so much and call it a day. Thanks for the video.

At present I would recommend this inexpensive Chinese watch over the Hamilton. I owned two Hamilton Khaki watches. The one that was quartz had a sapphire crystal that broke on its own (believe or not). The one with the Swiss ETA mechanical movement stopped working after two years of gentle wear. Thank for your review.

Nice, but personally, I would rather buy this particular military design from a brand that actually has a history of issuing this watch to soldiers, I.e. Bulova, Benrus, Hamilton, or Timex. And if I am pressed for cash, then I’m going with the Bulova or Timex.

Hello bearded watchman, the algorithm takes me to this very appropriate video. I found one of these watches in Japan (Sbsa) and I think Strapcode has raised their prices too much over the last few years. I discovered that Marc from Long Island Watch offered this bracelet for only $59, so I bought it (and the same for an Orient Kamasu). Very nice combo, and very informative video about my choice. Norman friendships.🇨🇵

VH31 is a great movement, happy to see more watches using it, but I wish, wish _wish_ it had a date function. IMO, no watch should be without a date function. If this is supposed to be some everyday, muh rugged, tOoL wAtCh, a constant companion, then it really needs to have a date. It's a fundamental function right up there with being a time telling tool watch.

If it’s a watch on a bracelet, you’d need to put a partition of sorts between the caseback and bracelet. Otherwise, the inside of your bracelet and the backside of the caseback will suffer many new scratches.

I never once ever worried about scratches on my case back. I guess if it bothers you then put a cloth between the back and bracelet. Otherwise let the watch build character. Lol

I was just researching the Hamilton khaki 38mm today, and this video popped up in my recommendations. I just want to say "Thanks!" for doing what many watch channels don't do, and that's stating your wrist size. I also have a 6 1/2 inch wrist, so seeing this watch modeled on the same size wrist makes this video very useful to me. I didn't know about this homage, but it seems too good to pass up for the price. I'm pretty sure that I'll be going for the Hamilton though.

@@beardedwatchman1384 ..lets be clear... "Chinese watch" with Japanese Seiko "guts"....nice sweeping quartz movement. Recall....even what used to be "fully Japanese" watches, today, may have final assembly of "their" watches done in Philippines or China....so don't just say "Chinese watch".... implying "cheap". This watch is super and punches well above it's price point.

Amazing....let's pay 10x the price of this and get maybe 60 sec accuracy per month with the "proper" Hamilton, instead of maybe 6 sec/month with a good quartz movement. All for "history" and "homage". That's ok, but I don't get it........
