![[Hamilton] I dropped my Pilot Pioneer on dry asphalt and knocked it into COSC spec](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/263dab64-2b06-4c23-872a-f369992a963e.webp){kind=link}
Does that mean it’s accurate to within a second, twice a day?
Shhh! That’s exactly how Rolex, Omega, etc. regulate their watches. It’s the industry’s dirty little secret.
That’s a relatively time-efficient method of getting into COSC spec lol.
Looks great. Congrats on becoming a watch-maker.
What do you call this style of case? Turtle? Cushion?
I believe cushion works, maybe even tonneau

Looks super sharp. That strap is the bees knees.
Mission failed successfully
Lovely strap. What’s the brand?
Nice watch and strap. But what really intrigues me is the car. That looks like a nice car. What car is it?
Ha I assure you it’s nothing special. It’s an A4 that’s turning 7 in a few months. She’s the first and only car I’ve ever bought and I love her almost as much as my watch. Especially the brown interior
And here I’m going to out my other obsession by pointing out the cocoa brown leather interior in a late model Porsche nearly matching the watch strap.
As the title says, I dropped my Pilot Pioneer from about waist height onto asphalt and dinged the crystal real good at 3 o’clock. I don’t really mind that because I think bruises match the military aesthetic anyway, but I was worried about the movement. I’ve been tracking it for the last few days and it is coming in at +3s/day. I’ve heard people brag about the accuracy on their Hamiltons but mine never really achieved anything better than just inside spec (+/- 12-15s per day). I guess all it took was a force to knock it into COSC standards.
Pictured here on a whiskey shell cordovan strap which I think is a terrific combo.
I accidentally magnetized my watch and now it runs +2 seconds from -12 second per day haha
Don’t you mean METAS since it’s still cased up? :p
Was going to specifically ask about the strap, looks fantastic. Where’d you get it from? It fits the Hamilton aesthetic perfectly.
What a fantastic model from Hamilton! Looks great in blue with the brown strap 👏
I dropped my Seiko on the tile and it stayed within Seiko spec at +25/d.
That’s funny I had a similar experience with an ETA 7001 I own. Was running +-4, then +30 (not magnetized), banged it and now +5-10. Should I bang it again? michael Scott TWSS
