For the money, Hamilton / Better design, Heuer
In Response To: scan day: heuer vs........ ()


Sometimes these Hamiltons can be bought right, and they may represent a nice buy, compared with the Heuers.

But in terms of the design of the case and the amazing finish on the dial, I'll take the Carrera over the Hamilton. To me the Hamilton case is a bit small . . . needs more bezel . . . sometimes the big pushers / narrow bezel make it look like the kid with big ears??

Nice scans, and thanks for starting the Scan Day with these rivals.
