Gorgeous... congratulations! I love Hamilton watches... some of the best value for money pieces out there and I mean that in a totally positive way... they're the same quality as watches several times their price.
... and gave me this!
My first Hamilton (and my first 2834-2), and it's lovely. It's one of those watches (and you'll all know this feeling) where it seems impossible to capture the beauty in photos. As it catches the light in different ways the reflections from the gold hands and hour markers are quite beautiful, but I failed miserably in my attempt to photograph that, I'm afraid. You'll just have to take my word for it! The finish seems very good, and reminds me of my Ball Trainmaster Legend in some ways. That's another watch where I was surprised by the high quality finish and detail (even under a loupe) but have never yet seen a photo which comes even close to doing it justice.
Even the case finish (a combination of brushed and polished, with a polished bevel edge to the brushed lugs) is quite captivating when the light catches it.

That's lovely. Can imagine how it looks even better in the flesh. Congrats on 30 years... Hope she got something nice from you..
Absolutely gorgeous, you must be over the moon.It's so elegant, everything about it and the strap matches it perfectly.
Enjoy! :))
Congratulations for the 30th anniversary!
And this Hamilton is lovely, a day/date with an elegant dial and a very nice piece altogether.
Congratulations......and that is a damn fine watch, very tasteful. Enjoy
Lovely watch, congratulations.
That is actually very very nice,Congratulations !
Thanks all for the very kind comments and good wishes!
Oh and Markw, as the 30th is the pearl anniversary she chose a pearl bracelet and ear-rings from me. Very difficult to find surprise presents after 30 years! :-)
Congratulations. It'll go nicely with the pearls too ;-)

That's a nice-looking thing - and looks good on your wrist too.
Congrats!
that looks very nice indeed, I myself adore my Hamilton that I received for fathers day 2012, same brushed lugs that just sets the case of in the sunlight,
That's a lovely dress watch.
It ticks a lot of boxes.
Display back for one, I do have an affection for those.
Design wise, I like the way it has an old fashioned charm but a lovely modern font set.
The Hamilton writing looks great, as do the lower case letters on the 'automatic' wording.
Dressy... but with CLEAN modern lettering.
She's a keeper.... and so is the wife as well, I reckon!
Happy Anniversary.
I've got this also (albeit the date version and sub sec dial at 6) and agree it's an awesome watch! congrats and a great present from the missus!:)
