Nice Hamilton Canadajoe.I've been tempted by that one and the Jazzmasters on a few occasions. Your post reminded me of a gaffe I made over the Holidays.
I bought my mother a Lady Jazzmaster for Christmas, the watch arrived about a week before the 25th. While inspecting the watch before wrapping it up I noticed a small inscription on the minute hand.I could barely read it under a 10x loupe, but it seemed to read "Mandarian Duck". Curious, I sent a email to Hamilton asking about the inscription.Hamilton answered my email 2 weeks later.
Meanwhile, Christmas day came and my mother loved the Hamilton, said she was going to show it to all her friends. I felt good about getitng her something nice.Hamilton emailed me a week later.
The following was Swatch Groups reply to my question about the inscription.
Thank you for contacting Hamilton watches. This particular model does
have a certain inscription on the hands, as part of the design initiated
by our European colleagues, which actually refers to the Tao Memory. The
particular writing corresponds to a certain love-making position that
the Chinese consider as an art form.
Regards,
Murielle
Damn you Hamilton!
I hope my mother never converts to Taoism or elects to have Lasiks surgery.
Thanks fellas for the pics, I saw a couple I'd like to own no matter what size they arehand6.gif
