Well, you, it is possible to buy an auto Hammy for under $300. Or at least it was last week. Sorry. I hope you are subscribed to snag the bargains as I find them! Cheers, Jody
Saw the deal just after Christmas and Ashford had it for $299 plus another $30 off. I got the grey dial for $269. I was worried my wife would be upset because I have so many watches but when she saw the watch, she loved it!
Good find. You'd pay not a lot less than that for an ETA 2892 movement alone.
Ordered mine right after your first video and should be here tomorrow. Got the blue. And yes I looked then next day, the 15th, and they were gone. Thanks for the heads up!!
I've been eyeing this watch for a while. I really wish it had a second hand. I buy an automatic to see the second-hand sweep! I want a Hamilton on my budget. They do come and go on Jomashop and Ashford, the have for months. A new dress watch arrived today, and I'm still looking at this! Thanks Jody! I have about 8 dress watches, already, the style I personally like the best, but wear the least. Again, thanks, Jody! Tempting.
When deals like this pop up, I always wonder what preceded it? Upgrading the line, so the old one's must go? Discontinuing them? Major retailer went under? Not popular enough? Doesn't matter that it really doesn't matter.....I just want to know the whole story!!! Great deal, and glad someone who appreciated them got one....
Usually its to off load something that isn't selling and is taking up warehousing space that could go to something that will sell. The company will usually sell them off for around the price they bought from Hamilton.
2010’s dimensions.
My wife gave me the blue variant of this for me for Christmas. I LOVE it!
299!? Just the movement (2892) is something like 500$ 😮
When it comes to Hamilton packaging... when I got my Khaki Mechanical, it was off of airline miles. It came to me with the standard Hamilton box, but it was empty, and along side it was an odd little blister pack that had the actual watch in it. And it clicked to me. The watches probably don't come to retailers in the giant boxes, and retailers combine them at purchase time.
Anyhow, lovely watch, great deal. I'm mixed on the movement. While it's neat to have an automatic, and the thinness is impressive, it's more a movement that you know is impressive than can see is impressive. I defy anyone to tell the difference between an automatic two-hander and a quartz two-hander, unless looking at the caseback. If looking at the hands, a quartz and automatic movement is going to be nigh indistinguishable without that seconds hand.
Again, can't argue with that particular grey market bargain. But at MSRP? I'd find it a tough sell.
I got one as well. The best value deal I found and absolute lovely watch. Love it!
I've been keeping an eye on this one since December at Ashford. After I saw your video I pulled the trigger the same day (blue dial since the champagne was gone). I refreshed the page for Hamiltons after the fact to check other watches and all of them were gone. I think I got the last one lol. Love the watch, it is super classy.
Costco is selling them here in Canada for $599 (usd $418). If you discount the shipping plus the r4pe UPS charges you on customs brokerage, it's in fact cheaper than Ashford's
This came up with that new Vacheron 222 (which I will probably never even be in the same room as) in that a watch without a seconds hand arguably should feel comfortable reducing the frequency in order to extend the power supply. It's not a big deal here since we're talking about an automatic, but still, a longer life would definitely be a welcome trade-off, especially since the Hamilton has a date function.
Try to change watchband to coffee color, looks better.
Great watch - thanks Jodie! Just got myself an Addiesdive MY-H2 Field/Flieger in blue - absolutely perfect watch in every way! Just changed the strap to a Marine Nationale nato in blue&white. Cheers from Bremen/Germany 🧡
Remember the Seiko Pressage? No? Me neither.
Still have some on the website. I just bought a grey dial one $330 shipped to Oz. They have silver too
I was laughing when I watched your previous vid talking about this one, because I came across it on Ashford a week or so ago myself and snapped it up immediately. Wasn't even sure I wanted the darn thing, but couldn't resist the deal. 😂🤦♂️🤙🏻
I have this Thineline beauty as well in the charcoal dial! Thanks again Jody!!
I bought that Hamilton in black same day you posted the announcement video. That Thinline at 8mm+ thick. My wrist is bigger 8 1/2” requiring me to order a longer leather strap. The color you bought didn’t seem available at Ashford, but I did stop looking after I spied the black. Good call!!
I’ve had my eye one these for a couple of years. But I just know I’d just miss having that movement in the dial.
I wish there was a version with a second hand.
Enjoying, seeing dress watches, that you frequently show us. This one is, as you say a nugget. I enjoy all types of watches, but we get plenty of tool watch styles. This is refreshing.👍
The lack of a second hand is a dealbreaker for me. If I’m careful about when I arrive for a meeting or I’m doing something basic like cooking, I want to be precise. That’s why my Certina DS-4 Auto is my ideal dress Watch
I do my periodic check in on Ashford it’s where I got my Intra-matic at a similar price. I go Hamilton > New Arivals ✌🏼🇺🇸
It’s a nice review Jody and a beautiful Hamilton watch.😃
I’ve been keeping tabs of Hamilton stock on Ashford for literal years. These will be back in stock. They’ve been selling them forever. They’ll be back, they’ll still be affordable.
The movement is 300 to buy alone so yeah its a go if you dig the look
Stunning watch. Although I’m a bit basic so I like seeing the seconds hand going around. Well done on nabbing one though!
A local Sam's Club near me had a few of these Jazzmaster Thinline watches on clearance for $289. I ended up buying three of them in different colors. The good thing about Sam's Club is, I can sit on them for a while and return them when I decide which of the three to keep. I may just hold on to all three. I feel like these watches provide a lot of bang for the buck at less than $300.
I saw it for the same price for a few days, around a month before your “Top 10” video, so as you said, just keep an eye out, and the sale for the model will pop up again.
Thank you Jody just picked up mine at UPS as well thx to your last video.
Got that same watch last year. Still kicking myself for not getting the red one when it was available.
I love it. I noticed it two weeks ago. I wanted the blue one, but they ran out.
No doubt a banging deal. nice one, micro price for Swiss & 2892,so not sutupid thick. Coulda been slimmer without the pointless clear caseback.
Oh man, I'd LOVE a 36-37mm version of this with a non-sunburst dial.
Hamilton Intra-matic is 38mm I’ve seen them on Ashford before and Boulton is 34mm tank watch.
We need more champaign dials in new watches and dial mods.
I find it beautiful.
Best regards
Could be a Sekonda.
But it’s not
The Champaign and black models are back on Ashford.
How hard would it be to remove the movement and add a second hand?
Band aid on your pointer finger. All ok? Watch is nice too 🙂
No second hand? I’d pass on any watch without one. I want a watch that tells me the time, not an approximate time.
More Jumbo for me then 😋
Nice dial, but I still prefer the looks of my orange fume dial Ascent!
Very nice dresser. Great show!
No second hand is a deal breaker for me… has to have one! Other than that it looks good.
Really beautiful watch
They had a screaming deal on the hamilton khaki scuba a few months ago too. I spammed a bunch of watch channel comments so people would know. they were sold out in a few days I think.
I've got an early 40's manual movement men's watch, the case is solid gold. (It's very small though).
I have a cat
@JohnnyBagvieGolf You are what you have as a pet, is what I've what's been told.
What a beautiful watch! Thank's God is too big for my wrist and, btw, I hate "dead" watches that lacks seconds hand 😅 Otherwise, I would be purchasing one.
What about UPS brokerage charges and or other fees they tag on?
I saw the champagne and the black dial live on Ashford's site. Happy hunting, all.
Man if this thing had not date, it would be so spot on…still very nice given the price
link?
Wish it had a seconds hand though
nice pick ❤
Yep, they sold out quick, but I got the black one.
A coworker has one, really great watch.
Pretty nice dress watch from a company not really known for dress watches.
Screaming deal, well done! I adore seeing Jazzmaster love, such a great line.
I implore you to check out the day date version. It's different, but the dna is undeniable. Slightly thicker, slightly more lume, but the dial balance is on point (12 position day, six position date, color match wheels). If symmetry, dophine hands, and minimalism are your thing, it's worth checking out.
That’s quite nice.
I have several Hamiltons. They make a great watch, but Hamiltons has never caught on to the concept that lume is no longer an accent or design feature. Hamilton lume is like having NO lume at all and it's been that way forever. For a couple of cents more, they could do it right.
Saw it in person at my local Sam’s Club before Christmas for $268 USD. I regretfully passed on it.
nice watch for a bargain price... enjoy it cheers
would be cool if it had a second hand
I love Hamilton
I jhave the same watch 👊
I can't accept watch without seconds leg, it is what makes me happy.
That price is really shocking. I never seem to wear a dress watch. But if I did, this would be it. But I guess it’s good since they’re all sold out. 😅
Super deal!
....i love watches with no second hand!
Lovely watch but just can't handle the 40mm 😞
that would look good in a milanese bracelete
They do have it available with a Slum Bears of Rice. Wears Similar to the milanaise
Thank god they're sold out. I just spent 18 quid on a blue light Armitron from Amazon. Moonraker/Tron vibes😂
Also check the secondary market. Got a Hamilton American Classic Railroad(H-10 Auto) for like $225 in full wooden box..
Is that what we used to call used?
@@zplapplap hah fair enough.. ok used ;) previously loved?.. honestly it looked new..
Very nice indeed - and still would be even at $500
I don't need another watch that'll cost more than I paid for it to service... do I?
crazy thin for an affordable auto with a date wheel
Where can you even get this? Hamilton doesn't list it
I think "waffer" thin is the right way to say it. (Pardon my M. Python.)
Can you add a second hand 😂
To each their own but I wouldn't pay $299.- of my country's money yet alone two-nine-nine in US dollars.
Had mine for 2,5 years. It’s a looker.
I always imagined Hamilton making it manual and getting rid off the date wheel saving another mm.
38 would be nice, I had an intramatic 38mm silver dial and wish I never flipped it
Out of stock already. Sad day.
They were out of stock the day after he first spoke about it.
@@jayactiv Yeah he said so in the video I was just sad about it.
The black and champaign dials are back instock
HAMILTON LETS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I picked up the champagne powermatic 80 with the bracelet for $404 right after Xmas. One of the best deals in watches I ever made. First time buying from Ashford as well. Very happy and the watch is gorgeous.
Is fine. To me it’s priced right. A bit boring
Always been a fan of Hamilton, but for me it's just a bit too plain.
Buy the watch, not the deal.
Lookn handsome however, i spent this years allowance on rims. You got to show me this now eh?
Bargain
That’s a really great price. Only $280 shipped and all if you live in America. Especially for a 40mm Hamilton dress watch with an eta 2892 instead of a garbage powermatic 80 movement. That watch will last forever and if it doesn’t it will be very cheap and easy to fix it or service it. And the champagne color dial variant is by far the best imo. Bravo. Who says you can’t still get a proper Swiss made automatic watch from a big name brand for shot $300 usd? This proves that yes you still can.
Aye, lovely looking thing. I'll try to get one, cheers.
have you checked the authentication?
Yeah it's $300 for a reason - no one wants them.
Baffling statement, based on it being sold out.
😂
Yeah, given that the Hamilton logo accounts for at least $500 of a Hamilton watch's price, this watch is worth -$200, lol. 🤑
It’s also not sold out…
Kind of like the old joke about the restaurant. Nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded. Loving my Hamilton Auto!
Was too slow and missed the deal
They are back in stock.
Great movement and dimensions. Hands too short! That white date window is a hard pill to swallow. I'd rather spend 300 bucks on a squier jazzmaster 😉
As they in soccer, Scooorrrrrrrre!
They in football, "Goal".
iPhone parts are made mostly in various Asian countries, then it's assembled in China. No problem. But something that only tells the time and date? Well, that better be made in Europe or else it's virtually worthless! Heh, China? Commence snickering.
Yeah, the luxury watch market is entirely contrived. Marketing over matter. Buh buh duh Swiss technology? See above. Seems few of you care about "Swiss" technology when it comes to buying pretty much...EVERYTHING else. Because time is just so darn complicated...
Rather plain to me
Bigger brands are now realizing how much terrain they lost with Chinese watches. Just my thought....
Looks extremely plain to me. Bland even.
