Thanks a lot dear Captain for your kind comments about these two additions to my collection. The GMT: Ah yes! You well know that I have been looking for it for so long...

As a matter of fact I visited the Barcelona boutique at ends of 2019 following your suggestion and met the lady manager there and after a little chat about my collecting tastes she asked me which model I was looking after and when I told her my wishes she said with a charming smile: "Ah you want the caramelito!! Impossible" (caramelito: little sweet candy).
My son visited her again just a couple of weeks ago and she answered that regrettably it was still impossible to satisfy my wishes (And the wishes of her customers). Lol!
I´m so excited with this GMT which I deeply wished to own.
Regarding the little cute Hamilton: As you know I need many times a low profile watch when walking in my city where to wear a Rolex is an invitation to have a big trouble. It happens the same with other high end watches but Rolex and Panerai are the favorite of street crooks and snatchers.
So I´m in the permanent search for a charming watch to wear in these circumstances which will be enjoyable to wear and will not attract the eyes of friends of other people´s stuff.
I like this little Hamilton so much. I like its "ready for war" stealthy looks
and its simple but reliable ETA based manual wind movement with 80 hours PR. The Nato provided with leather touches is nice but it invites me to try other Nato in military green or a black sail set I like to wear in other diving watches.
38 mm case makes for a very nice vintage looking watch with a heritage in the watches Hamilton made for the US Military in the past. Dial is simple, easy to read even in low light and with military roots as well.
I already own several Hamilton watches and find them very charming and reliable. I have been considering the Khaki Field for some time and your previous shots and comments inspired me to search for it. I´m really delighted that I did.
I´m glad you like my shots and I send you my best wishes of a nice and relaxed weekend.
