- As I slim down my watch collection, this is the first in a series of "Tough Choices" videos. A discussion about which version of the Hamilton Khaki Field watch I will keep and which one I will let go of: the Neo Vintage 33mm or the modern 38mm.

My vote is for the 33mm.
Thank you for watching and for your vote!
I concur. But that’s for me personally being a micro man. You could sell both, the 33mm to me of course, and buy a 36mm version. Hamilton 8787 quartz (fine by me). 200 bucks right now on popular resell site. Also one of their new pilots is 36mm. My last attempt at comment as first one was deleted. No idea why.
There’s also a plethora of homages you can find at 36mm. You seem ok with homages as am I.
Really like your Chanel! Came here some time ago for the 36mm AquaTerra. I would Keep the 38 as a good allrounder. The one with the plexi is nice but it is indeed pretty small.
Hi and thank you kindly!....thanks for your vote....I agree with you.
The 38 looks great on your wrist IMO. I fancy the 33 because I have a dainty twig wrist
@@mitahapsari4960 thanks. The 33 is a great size for you...enjoy if you get one
Come here deciding weather or not to buy H693190. Another one to add to the decision.
Really enjoy this style of video! I'm team 33 (but you already know that)
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I would keep both as I think they serve different purposes, even though is basically the same watch, but the 33mm is way more special and authentic.
Thanks for your comments!….thats a very valid argument….
Myself, I would choose the 38mm as it is a more balanced and rugged size for a field watch.. like it or not, we are living in the modern world and we are from this modern world. My baseline would be 34mm- 36mm for a dress watch and 36mm and above for field watches..
Good call....we are on the same page
Would be very interesting to see what you have to say on the AliExpress quartz khaki field watches like Militado. Maybe that's not your style or not for your taste, but you seem to be very good in field watch lore, and those cheap quartz ones are kind of counterparts to the cheap mechanical watches of the 60-s
Yes, I've seen those and I if they were 36mm instead of 38, I would have a difficult time justifying keeping the Hamilton which has kind of become my "every day beater". I still prefer a manual wound.
@@favoritethings3065 Thanks for the reply. I've bought one of these militados exactly because that was justifiable spending. For some reason it's within 1 second a month slow. Happy with it. Hope they will stay in business and cook up that 36mm sterile Benrus someday, maybe even a Marathon diver copy. We shall see (they have 36mm version, but it seems it needs revision and their logo is present on the dial)
I love manual winding, too, I inherited a couple, but they died on me quickly and then were lost when we were packing and moving to a new place. Somehow VH31 is good at mimicking that snappy slow manual wound tick.
@@favoritethings3065 It seems they've just released a 36mm
Fun comparison. I prefer the way the 33mm hugs to the wrist. The one thing bothering me with the 38m is the space between the case and the strap due to the long lugs. I understand that it facilitates installation of NATO straps, but that was a deal breaker for me when I was looking for a field watch.
@@nicolasv99 which field watch did you end up going with?
@@favoritethings3065 I opted for two Hamilton : A 9721b black dial (this watch is 36mm) and a Khaki Field Automatic 38mm (H704450) with a less common olive-grey dial. Both fit well on the wrist and have a balanced lug shape.
33!!
i own the 38 it looks so small on me got 20 cm wrist
@@Jijhebtmijnnaamnietnodig yes, my wrist are smaller (17cm). You should try the 42mm version.
@@favoritethings3065 yeah i gonna buy something different but i am ganna keep it, not sure what thou. i have the normal khaki in 38 not this model sorry about that:P and also a Tissot 660 seastar and a edifice chronograph
33mm
@@Nileskuronen thanks for your vote....it was a tough choice, but I stuck with the 38.
38mm No doubt
Thanks for your vote....SOTC 2024 is on the way.
33mm looks more natural.
@@void1984 thank you forwatching and for your comment. Your vote is noted!
So you base the whole video on making a choice between the two but you don’t actually make a choice? Clickbait. Not cool
Sorry you feel that way....I was inviting viewer recommendations to help make the decision
Bro why u getting mad over click bait that's the name of the game . Buddy . Also he says that the 38mm is staying in his collection .
