the diver here is $600, the nfw around $500 and the hammy under $500..........which one you like better. i have no idea, considering that i love dive watches, but the hammy is screaming to me.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't all of the Wilson Watch Works pieces reserved already? If this is the one you end up choosing, you may have a pretty long wait ahead of you.

These watches are all nice, but they all seem to be in different classes of diver as well as production runs. For instance, the Wilson has a water resistence of 2000m and the Hamilton is much less...the Wilson is very limited, the NFW will have a little more and the Hamilton is mass produced. If it were me, I would get the WWW diver because of the design (very cool at a great price), it is a 2000m watch and the rarity of the piece (only a hand full made...hand build at that). This is just the opinion of a crazy donkey, so take it for what it is worth!

I would pick the Wilson diver-thats why I'm on the backup reserve list for the watch.

Another hard decision on the watch front ! The question is which one really appeals to you the most ! Each one is a fine watch in it's own right. Who knows..perhaps they will have one of those great sales at Ashford allowing the price to come down even more on the Hamilton. Then if one of the other watches like the NFW, is less expensive then we are thinking it will be, you can get two ! If that does not happen though..I would go with the Hamilton ! Mainly because it looks really different, has a good movement in it and Z says it's a good watch ! It's good you have some time to think about it, because then you don't have to rush into a decision. Again, try to get the watch that appeals to you the most..hope this helps !

For me, it would be between the hammy and NFW. Why? Because they look different. The www looks like a typical diver in style, case design, bezel. etc. The hammy and NFW are unique looks that would stand out. Between the hammy and nfw .... tough choice. What strikes out at you at first is what I would go with.

My other opinion is this...

I would rather put money in a BRAND that will more than likely be here and recognizable in years to come. The micro-brands may be hot now, but what happens in 3 yrs if you wanna sell the watch and no one remembers benanauticfishdeepblue?

That's one crazy good watch company name ! I wonder how it would look on a watch dial !
