Trying to choose between Hamiltons...

[bsmith13]

I got a Hamilton catalog about 2 months ago, and had narrowed my choices down to a Khaki Chrono Auto (http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/webapp/en-us/collection/?c=ka&y=11)and a Khaki Conservation (http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/webapp/en-us/collection/?c=ka&y=132).

Then I went to a local watch shop and saw a Ventura (http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/webapp/en-us/collection/?c=AC&y=66&p=98). It is much more appealing in person than it is in a catalog! I am still going to pick a Chrono Auto or Conservation eventually, but the Ventura is interesting to me, and now I can't decide which one to acquire first. Anyone have any of these watches?

(Sorry for lack of embedded pics - Hamilton won't let me steal theirs.)

The Ventura is very cool, based on a vintage design and worn in MIB.

I have none of the above, but I think out of those choices I think I'd take the Conservation. Understated uniqueness.

I would go for the Khaki Conservation.

I also have none of the above and find the Conservation to be my pick as well. If I was in love with the Ventura I would get it, but would wonder where to wear it.

Nice thing about them both are they appear to be versatile. I am fascinated at the accuracy of the Automatic Chronos and the technology behind them. Ultimately it comes down to what are you willing to spend, and how much do you want that chrono?

I always look at it like this.....If I want a particular feature of a watch, will I be kicking mysle flater for not laying down an extra hundred or 2 for it? If I see a regret formulating I wait another week or 2 to get it.
