    Heritage Re-issue Watch

    As a future project to add to Smiths military watch range, heritage reissue watch to the British Army W10 and RAF 6BBa military with Tonneau design shape case with Sand paper dial.
    I did a mock up of it, is it a direct copy of Hamilton what do you reckon?

    Hamilton and CWC already do version of these so I am not sure Eddie would want to add a third to the market. Happy to be corrected though.
    An option might be the ‘lost navigator’ 6bb but I am really hoping for a Smiths Delux 6B

    Hamilton's one bit overpriced, how much does CWC cost? on their site it said sold out and won't show the price for it.
    Extra player add to more competition on market and good for consumer like us :p

    I believe that when it is in stock that it was GBP 449.00. It had the SW-210 movement in it instead of the H-50 movement from Hamilton which is a modified ETA 2801-2.

    Correct. They do MOD discount (sadly not veterans) which makes it £405. Still expensive for that it is.

    This would be awesome, mineral crystal and price puts me off the Hamilton although it is a great looking watch.

    Thanks for the suggestion, they look really good. Is this another Mirco brand company that offer good quality? Not some knocked off Chinese homage?

    Agreed with you the price on Hamilton is bit steep.
    Hence looking something else offer similar design looking watch.

    Yes, very good quality. I have the ‘71. It’s a stunner. I’m very tempted by this latest release.

    Shame it runs on Seiko quartz (sweeping) movement , and asking for €195 bit on the steep side.
    But the gilt version is a stunner....
    Hope they runs some sales since holiday season coming up next...

    That's an interesting take on it. I have got one, and I have yet to see another £200 watch that looks more like a £400 watch than the Newmark. I think they will all be gone before there are any "sales".

    Worth if it you don't pay full retail, IMO. I paid around $500 USD for mine and love it. Stupid thing is nearly dead on accuracy wise, maybe +1 sec/day, and the power reserve is impressive. It's just a great little watch.
