Also consider the 40mm version with the small seconds. That sounds like it would be perfect for you.

Thanks for the reply! I'm not a big fan of the subdial look. I found a picture somewhere online of a woman wearing it and you're right, it looked quite good.

The 40mm does not have a screw down crown like the 43mm. I'm not sure about the 36mm.

In any size, I agree that the blued hands on silver dial are absolutely stunning.

I haven't been able to find many pictures of any of these watches on a woman or even a 6" wrist. I wonder if anyone on here can help with that... The blued hands are part of the distinctiveness of a marine-style/deck watch, so I'll likely go with that option. I'll have to save a rose gold watch for another future purchase. [emoji4]

I felt the need to update this thread with a picture of my decision, it seems to be the courtesy extended in return for advice around here.

I decided to go with the 36mm Hamilton Ladies Navy Pioneer. I came to the realization recently that I was never a fan of the small seconds to begin with, so why even consider it? I'm very happy with my decision. Even at 36mm, it seems to have a large presence on my wrist.

And so, here is my pictorial introduction into the Hamilton club. [emoji1]

Those blue hands...[emoji7]

Very nice! I *really* want a Navy Pioneer (but I need to trip over a good deal on one since I just ordered a Khaki Aviation).

 

Even though I was set on buying mine, I still browsed around for a good deal. Depending on your definition of a good deal, I may be able to help with that. Though it's pretty much the usual places on the grey market...

Looks like a good fit and the lugs are very cool

Thanks! The wire lugs were part of the appeal for me. =)

Congrats! Good thing you stuck with the 36mm, looks great, and perfect size too. [emoji106]

Ps. So nice to see a feminine arm for a change... so used to hairy dudes on this forum

Thanks! I'm very glad I stuck with the 36mm too. Those wire lugs stuck out further than I expected, so I'm surprised the watch looks bigger on me than I imagined.

I like guys with hairy arms, but I think I've had my fill after seeing all the pictures of them here. =p

Congratulations! It looks great! Having seen the pictures, I think you chose the right size. Enjoy the watch... I wear my 43mm about every other day, and I still regularly stop to look at the blue hands in the light at different angles. It's a beautiful effect that's hard to fully appreciate in pictures.

Thanks! I did the same thing yesterday, admiring the way the hands looked with the change in lighting. The way they gleam when lit properly...Mmmm. Needless to say, I didn't get too much work done.

Excellent choice. The history of that watch is quite interesting. A watch that I would love to have in my collection one day. Classic, clean design. Beautiful on leather.

Thank you! Its history was part of the reason I wanted the watch and I share the same feelings with you on it. Hope you get to add it to your collection soon!

Very nice choice. That's a n old-fashioned and elegant look, should go with a variety of occasions and attire! Well done, miss.

Thank ya! I've been thinking about different strap combinations. I'm already waiting for one to arrive in the mail. [emoji1]

Looks great on you! Nice choice.

I am considering this one myself. I might have missed it, but does the 36mm have a screw-down crown?

 

Thanks! The 36mm doesn't have a screw-down crown.

Good to know! Thanks for the reply. If you happen to take some more photos of it on I'd love to see how it looks in different lighting.

 

I've been wearing it pretty much every day lately. Here are a few pictures that I've posted to the WRUW threads. Just about all of them are taken at the same place indoors. It's been gloomy the past few days so nothing in sunlight yet. Any particular lighting you'd want to see the watch under? I can try to get some pictures for you.

It looks like it's tough to get exposure right to properly convey the hands. So often, cameras don't seem to have the dynamic range and that brilliant blue (I'm assuming, from the stock shots and occasional user pic) just turns black. I need to see if any of the local ADs have one of these to peep at. Then again, my lust for this watch has cooled enough so that it's bearable to be without it for the time being, so maybe I should hold off on seeing one in person.

 

The pictures you speak of may be arranged. My DSLR is out on loan, but I have my manual P&S that might be up for the task. I'm kind of too lazy to do HDR shots, but might do it for your sake. You need this watch in your life! [emoji16]

Hah! You two are such enablers. This one has really grabbed my attention (specifically the 36mm version). I agree; I think if I saw one in person it would be a difficult temptation to avoid!

Photos in bright sunlight would be awesome, but don't go out of your way for it.

I had a hard time finding an AD that had the 36mm in stock, so that might not be something you'd have to worry about. =)

I don't mind going out of my way to share my excitement with others, so request noted!

You temptress, you. I literally got my Khaki Aviation two days ago and you're trying to wedge another must-have Hamilton in to my life!

LOL. That's the whole reason you're on WUS, isn't it? [emoji106]

Sillygoose—thanks, nice photos! Those hands and that dial really pop in the sunlight. I like your choice of strap too; shows off those cool lugs pretty well!

 

Loving that braided strap.

 

Thanks!

Man doesn't live on 46mm alone.

Almost forgot to give you 10 Attaboys on the lugs and strap combo.
Works for me.

Thanks! Haha, thanks to my small wrists, I won't ever have to worry about 46mm watches. I'm lucky if I can get a 42mm looking decent on me.

36mm and pie pan seconds. Very cool! and +1 on the strap/watch combo

 

Nice! I love the design of this watch but the original (and even the small seconds) is too chunky for me. 38mm is my sweet spot but 36mm is fine, it wears like a casual everyday watch that you can dress up or down. I just wish they release one with a black dial.

 

I have the same watch with 6 inch wrists here. Super underrated imo and great bang per buck if you buy pre-owned. Wouldn't mind if it was even a 34 mm size

 

Hi! I'm a male with 6.5" wrists but prefer smaller watches and am highly considering this one. Do you know the lug to lug distance?

 

I love Hamilton as a brand but they tend to have long lugs. I loved my Murph but the lugs were long, even on my 7” wrist.
