Seriously i think it is!

All 36mm, but Hamilton x Engineered Garments looks bigger.

Biggest dial with the most black space/least amount of clutter on dial and thinnest bezel. Great way to make a 36mm watch wear larger than its dimensions would otherwise suggest.

That bracelet looks much cheaper on the Hamilton.

Indeed 😅.
But for 1/7th of an Explo price (as it’s on the previous picture) you can’t expect the same quality than on a Rolex pro. Although i actually love this Ti bracelet, it’s super light and comfy, good enough for me.

You took that picture, looked at it, and thought "others need to see this..."?? ;-)

The biggest one that jumps out to me is the Franck Muller numbers. Did not expect that at all.

I basically forgot FM even exists. I can't remember the last time I heard someone was contemplating buying one, much less actually bought one.

Another oddity from the report that I saw someone point out is that it shows Hamilton with an ASP of just under $2k, when the vast majority of their offerings are closer to $1k or less than $2k.

Can I get the group's opinion the Tank Amercaine large? One has come up locally and thinking about something as a dress piece which can also double as dressy sport watch. Any negatives? It's the one with the seconds hand, I think the earlier ones had no third hand..

I have this one. I wear it quite often as a dress watch and casual watch. The earlier versions came with a weird fold the straps under deployant while the newer versions have a normal deployant clasp. I can post pictures later but make sure it has the update deployant. The fold the strap clasp was weird.

Good to know thank you. This one is a 2023 so assume it has the later clasp although I haven't seen it yet. Thanks for the feedback

I was so wrong about Cartier.
