Went to Alberquerque this weekend with some of the guys to hit up some of the hot spots and get away from the base and bought this. I had it on my wishlist on Amazon, saw it in the mall and had to have it.

OMG... I am in love with the Hamilton Skeleton. Too bad I cannot afford $3K+ for a watch.

They are Homage watches...basically a copy of the original...many manufactures do it...some people call them expensive knock-offs. Looks like a nice Panerai Homage.

Hamilton makes some very nice and very affordable watches that use the same movements as many high dollar brands.

True but I don't have 4 grand for a Panerai. Plus you get to pick all of your components and can make it look however you want. From what I've read they are pretty nice pieces.

Speaking of skeleton watches, this is hot on my wish list. For me, this is one of the hottest watches to come around in a long time.

I plan to after Xmas...

I know people that have and all have been EXTREMELY satisfied...

THe best part is customizing it, he has alot more options that arent on the site. I saw a sweeet one with a black skeltonized dial on a seagull movement. It was awesome. :banger

I also like that you can order 2 bands with it and just swap em out to match...

be sure to post up what you get!!

I'm partial to the Militare style, but the Radiomir is appealing too... :)
