Who likes Hamilton?

I've been wearing my Khaki Auto Chrono for 7 or 8 years and love it but I don't see many others on this forum talk about them. It's my daily wear and I get as many compliments when I wear this or my Rolex. Thoughts. Just an after thought. Can anyone guess what country I was in when I took this photo? Michael

Thanks.
Not sure of the reference number but it dates from the mid 80's. I'll have to break out the box and check it out.

I have never owned a Hamilton, but I have handled them. When people come to me and ask advice on a watch purchase and they are not looking to spend big money, I point them in the direction of Hamilton. Yes, they are and excellent watch.

Hey MJ, that is the Hamilton Ventura XXL. I picked it up about 2 months ago, on a nice discount! I like the look of the watch.
