Recent lurker of the community and been seeing all the great watches and thought I need something new after recently promoted. Thought I’d up my watch game, ive only wearing fossils watches for years. I stopped by my local watch store and had my eye on the Khaki King, priced at $1020 (Canada). I was about to buy it, but then talked myself out of it thinking it’s too expensive.

Then I walked by my local Hudson Bay and somehow they had the same watch on display with 15% off, plus if u get a credit card, an additional 25% off! And I thought “wow this is a sign.” They never have Hamilton’s at my location!

At checkout, a price error occurred and wasn’t giving the additional 25% off, only 10%. But she was adamant to fix it. By the end it was $1020+15%+25%+10% off! She threw in an extra 10%! I paid $661(CAD) for a brand new Hamilton Khaki King II ! I haven’t stopped staring at my new watch, it was just meant to be.

    I’ve ordered from Watchgecko, Hodinkee and Strapsco.com. Maybe Barton watch bands? My favorite though was the brown leather strap that came with it. They are fairly thick and a little stiff imo but it just wore so well over time. I’d start with that strap again if I had to.

      Yeah I’m thinking of getting a brown leather one and thank you for the recommendation sites. I’ll check them out. Cheers.
