Question Best place to buy a Hamilton watch?

Hey all, I've had my eye on the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind for way too long. I've been looking for a fun, daily replacement every since I sold my Welder.

I am really interested in picking up this Hamilton in particular:


I've never owned a Hamilton before and have no idea where the best place to buy them is?

I'd even be happy to buy it online, it would probably be cheaper like I did with my Welder.

Regardless, I know quite a few of you own them or have owned them. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

- Chris

eBay has had some good deals. I have no idea how reliable these places are but if you find great deal, keep me posted too!

Maybe we should get a group buy going?

Search for your local AD. You should be able to get 25-35% off without much hassle. If I recall correctly my last one 30% off MSRP but it was on back order and I had to wait over 6 months for it.

Give these guys a call or email and see what they will offer. I've been offered good deals before on other brands that they carry.

I've actually been scouring Ebay a lot lately. Been picking up a lot of items.

I don't know why it seems to be so difficult to pick up this brand watch. I know they're highly popular.

I will probably end up picking one up on Ebay of all places unless I find a reputable dealer otherwise.

Still open to any and all suggestions.

i got about 35% off on mine...absolutely LOVE the watch. stryke doesn't sell them, they aren't pricey enough.

get it from an AD, you want to get a warranty card and stamp.

btw i have a jazzmaster maestro, amazing watch.

lilandagi is an unknown quantity at this point
I recently bought the same watch off of ebay. Mine was rose gold color with the black strap and I picked it up for $1000 shipped. Seemed like a pretty good deal to me.
