Firstly, the watch is beautiful. Elegant and exceptional for the price range. Hamilton is just plain fantastic. This watch has a classic styling that will always look good: Every day, or with a suit. Love it. Cannot recommend enough.
The watch arrived in pristine condition, but the protective films had clearly been removed at some point, and the front crystal protector was buried in the watch documentation. I can confirm that the watch does certainly appear to be brand new, as it is free from any damage, but the removal of the crystal protector makes me wonder if this was a 'demonstrator', for instance. If so, then the watch should not have been listed maybe as 'new'. I don't know, this is a very fine distinction, but I was a little disappointed. The watch appeared on time, and I got a nice introductory discount, so I'll use FCW again.
