I'll oblige ya', Gregger. I love my Hammys. Great values for sure!! Hamilton Khaki Quartz "SWAT" edition. Apparently this watch was released to coincide with the move"SWAT". Don't hold that against it. Pros: Extremely inexpensive. IMO, great dial design with the red cardinals and iner 24 hour track. Very solid construction. Nicely brushed case with semi-protective rubber bezel. Bombproof. Very confortable on Hamilton rubber strap. A helluva beater I haven't been able to damage. Cons: For me, quartz... A bit on the smallish side at 38mm... If you're accustomed to wearing bigger pieces. So-so lume.  Hamilton Khaki Automatic. Pros; Perhaps the all time TJ Maxx steal...Clean, crisp, clasic design. I love the blue of the dial and the high contrast indices make it a breeze to read at a glance. Again, the inner 24 hour track is cool. Classic mil/fleiger look. Bombproof ETA 2824. Nice bracelet. Cons: A bit smallish at 38mm. Lume is so-so. Stange that a watch with 50m water resistancy would have a diver's extension on the bracelet. Case back (exhibition) has specifics printed on the glass rather than engraved in the metal. Polished bezel is going to be brushed at some point in the future.  Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT Pros: This one does it all. Three time zones, 200m water resitancy tool. Great ETA 2893. Very informative dial. Crown operation (all screwdown) is flawless. Quality built and solid as a rock. Very comfortable on Hamilton rubber strap. Good size at 42mm with curved lugs. Cons: Semi integrated rubber strap. Inner bezel requires unscrewing of crown for operation though this is an easy maneuver. Too much happening on the dial? Design, you either appreciate it or you don't. So-so lume. That's my bit. Hope it is of use to you whatever you're up to!! Cheers, Pax

37mm wide, 11 mm thick and at least 45mm long. I'm guessing on the length.
