I actually bought this at an AD, but nevertheless here's a small review:
The dial itself is very unique and believe me the 2 silver sub dials make a big difference in the way this looks.  A 44MM case is rather imposing but doesnt look monstrous.  The day-date feature for me, however could have been a bit avoidable.  I would have been comfortable with just the date.  I have many watches and rarely wear the same watch on 2 days back to back.  What this means is that the watch stops after the 40 hour power-reserve (which I haven't tested yet) and then its back to manually starting it again and changing both the day and date with the am/pm becomes a chore - I know the solution to this is a watch winder, but I haven't gotten around to getting one yet.  I don't use the pilots crowns for complicated measurements at all (neither do most other users that I have seen reviews of), but this sure looks cool.  The movement itself, the Valjoux 7750 is quite a durable movement and Breitlings who have an improvised inhouse modded version of this movement use it in their watches that sell for several times more - so this is what Hamilton provides at such an affordable price.  I now find the concept of batteries in watches, strangely a bit turn-offish.

The watch has such an amazing 'buddy' personality and class that somehow just feels right and not over-done.  Even my tags, omegas and breitlings haven't quite given me this feeling.  However, with automatics, its important to periodically get these serviced - once every 5 years or so.  I only had one bad experience (I have had 2 khaki X winds) - the first watch I got - the day and date plates kept jamming - since this was under warranty I got another one and then realized that you are never meant to change either the day or date field between 8PM and 3AM - reason is that around this time, the gears that control the day/date change are in motion and to manually try and change this field, affects the gears and hence the functionality in the long run.  The strap is also uber-thick, but not in a gross way.  The white stitching and the 2 rivets only add to the vintage/timeless allure of the product.

Go ahead, spend the money and enjoy this lovely product for decades to come.
