This watch was worth the slight wait. I love everything about it! It's the perfect size and weight and the colours are lovely. Seiko watches are also such great value for money.
Picked this watch up in the sale. I have wanted one of these for a long time and I'm glad I purchased one. I am absolutely blown away with the quality for the price. This is now my everyday watch. Very pleased and was delivered fast and securely.
I ordered the Sinn 104 with the vintage cow hide leather strap. On the Sinn website, and on here, the strap colour looked too light and rather plain. The leather strap I wanted was dark brown vintage leather, but that had a long lead time. So I decided to order a metal H link bracelet as well. This only cost me another forty pounds more than ordering the watch fitted with the metal bracelet, which I really liked anyway, so seemed a good option if I did not like the leather strap. When the watch arrived the leather strap looked much darker than the photo’s suggested and whilst plain, works really well with this watch.
The watch itself is exactly what I wanted and looks even better in person. I have a six and three quarter inch wrist and the leather strap fits really nicely, all be it I have to tighten it to the next to last hole. I have since sized and tried the metal H link strap and had to remove three links to get a perfect fit after adjusting the clasp.
The watch is easy to read and the bezel easy to set with no play. It lines up perfectly with the inner minute scale. The only small gripe I have is the time keeping - the watch gains about 10 seconds a day. So I may it regulated at some point. There is no guide on the Sinn site to indicate what the tolerance should be. will give it another few weeks and see how it is then.
Build quality is excellent and it looks stunning. It makes an excellent pilots watch and the mission timer bezel was much easier to see without resorting to my glasses, than my 22 year old Brietling B1. I suspect this watch will replace my B1 as my go to watch. The B1 is a Swiss Army knife when it comes to pilot watches, but as it and I get older, it is getting hard to read in the cockpit without glasses these days. No such problems with the 104.
So in summary, a stunning watch. The leather strap looks great and is very comfortable, it will probably be the strap of choice for everyday use. The metal bracelet makes the watch look far more expensive than it is! It turns the 104 into a really nice, functional dress watch.
Awesome divers style watch. Seiko stopped producing the 007 a while ago with its rubber strap so I purchased this and fitted an OEM rubber one myself. Perfect.

Very pleased with the watch. Looks good on the wrist and keeps excellent time. Ordered on the Friday and arrived on Saturday even though I didn’t request next day delivery. Dry good service from both first class watches and DPD.
I had high expectations about this watch from Hamilton. I watched and read many reviews before I decided to purchase it and it is as good as the reviews stated so I am very happy with the purchase. The discount from First Class watches was the icing on the cake. The strap is very good quality but quite thick and will take some breaking in but it can’t be faulted for that. Of the different variants available, the strap colour probably isn’t my perfect choice but the lug size is very popular so I will probably purchase an alternative strap eventually. I find the 42mm case size perfect for my wrist and prefer them to the 38mm variants because they sit a little taller.
This is my second Hamilton and the third watch I have purchased from First Class watches and so far, the products have been in very good condition, as you would hope. I recently purchased a good quality watch from another online retailer but I returned the watch because the condition it came in wasn’t as good at it should have been.
Hamilton is a brand I would highly recommend and will be purchasing more of.
