I have the non-Day/Date version of this watch which I got intentionally because I have several watches, so I'd only be wearing this every few days and, as it is an automatic, I didn't want to be re-setting the day/date every time.  I know, I could get an automatic winder for the automatic watches I own, but I want even less to have a case sitting out and to mess with putting watches in the case and taking them out every time I wear them.  Now that the useless protion of my review is out of the way, I love this watch.  No picture I have seen does it justice.  I had seen it in a magazine and it didn't really do anything for me.  Then I was at a jeweler looking at Omegas, and the Hamiltons were right next to them.  I saw this watch, tried it on and bought it within about 3 minutes.  The face is more of a deep charcoal color.  It is solid, the finish is excellent, and this watch can go from jeans and a polo shirt up to a suit.  The only reservation anyone should have is if they and/or their wrist is on the smaller side.  I am 6'4" with 8" wrists, so there isn't much I can't wear in the way of watches, but I would say if you're a smaller guy or your wrist isn't at least 7-7/14", this might not be the watch for you.  I would look at the Slim Petite Second, also a very nice watch.
