While I know we have zero tastes that are similar how could you possible claim the Seiko is less formal than the FC? It's called a Cocktail for crying out loud, lol.

As to the question, I think there might be some other FC's in that price range worth looking at. Here I'd be torn between the Seiko and the Tissot and really it would come down to how you dress and how formal as the Tissot is a bit more classic. For me the Tissot's hands just don't work for me but completely a personal issue. The Hamilton with the numbers and indexes along with the date window removing the 3 just makes the dial too cluttered. I don't like that FC....not at all honestly.

Which other FC's do u recommend at this price range?

That's the thing, I do'nt know their prices well enough. But here is one similar to others but I dunno seems to just do a few things better imo.

  They do so many nice watches in the lower prices that are so classic.

Seiko but I'm biased.

Of those you posted, my ordering would be:

1. Hamilton
2. Seiko
3. Tissot
4. Frederique Constant

But, in honesty, if it were up to me, I would consider a Tissot Carson Powermatic 80 instead,

or a Frederique Constant FC-303.

How about this fc?

Really simple and nice but not sure if it's beyond what you plan to spend

 

[Coltrane]

The Hamilton, because that's the exact one I'm eyeing up. I tried it on a couple times, and the hands don't blend in as much as they do in pictures.

I like the FC Slimline Moonphase, but it certainly is much more expensive that the current options on the table.

looks beautiful but also way out of my price range

Or junghans max bill? Grey market prices would be less than 800

 

[Mike_Dowling]

I hate to say it because I think the company makes quality watches at great prices but Hamilton is just boring to my eye.

How does it look on the wrist? It says its only 38mm.... I'm used to wearing 42mm+. it looks bigger in pictures though

The bezel is very thin, so it'll appear bigger on the wrist than a dive watch with a similar diameter, since a big part of how large it seems on the wrist is the dial diameter, as opposed to the case diameter.

The Seiko Sarb 065 'Cocktail Time' is the most attractive and unique to my eye. However, I would appreciate that watch most as a dressy watch worn in a rotation with other casual watches. If I were only going to own only one watch for all situations, the Hamilton might be the way I would go because of the sapphire crystal and more versatile look in casual situations.

The Viewmatic gets my vote as I had one which rode their leather strap (a nice one with a great deployment clasp) and a Tiffany bracelet. I gave the lot to my youngest daughter's boyfriend for his birthday and he seemed to appreciate it. The Hamilton doesn't try to be something it is not which if fine by me. Nothing is worse than a discount interpretation of a classic design. They remind me of a friends kit car Ferrari that was once a Corvair. Sure if you were far enough back and crossed your eyes but once you sat it... Gag!
