Model number - TW2V41700X6
Background:
> be me, 69 M, on a flight from North India back to India
> see a dude who was sitting (in his seat) when I was getting my luggage out of the overhead bin.
> his watch and receding hairline catch my eye
> gather courage to make cringy small talk
> ask him if he was wearing a Omega De Ville skeleton
> bald man gets confused and shows me the meme on his phone.
> ask him what watch he was wearing.
> understands the question and answers - "Hamilton Railroad skeleton automatic"
> me, nods head and heads out of the flight nonchalantly
> research frantically on the feeder bus
> mfw the Hamilton is automatic, 41 mm and needed to be imported
> realized I needed a mechanical watch with vintage dimensions
> see a HMT skeleton engraved being sold.
> buy it
> mfw I realize it's garbage made by a failed Indian brand running on nostalgia and shit movements
> scourge the interwebs for similar watches
> come across chad timex and Co offering beautiful field mechanical watches
> buy the gunmetal finish version
> been wearing it ever since.
> mfw I cucked my other watches
