Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Auto Aluminum Review
A couple of years ago, when Hamilton announced the Pilot Pioneer Automatic Chronograph, it got a lot of people, us included, really excited. It was the exact kind of watch from their archives we want to see them bring back. A cool watch with historical significance and a cult status among collectors. To follow up the success of that watch, Hamilton has riffed on the concept to create a series of 3-handers that still speak to the ��70s RAF pilot watches those chronographs were based, while becoming something new for their line-up as well as an having unexpected twist.The so called Pilot Pioneer Automatics are dual crown versions of the RAF asymmetrical pilots watches.

Winding feel question
I have a Hulk and a D-Blue and as far as I know both have the same movement, but on the sub the winding is much smoother and louder, than on D-DBlue, anyone with both a Sub and Deepsea notice these differences. Sub was bought new and D-Blue used, I also notice I can wind the Sub faster and it feels more sturdy, when I try and wind the D-Blue fast it almost feels like the gears slip a little, if that makes sense. sShould I be worried, 4 years warranty left on D-Blue, but it keeps perfect time, only issue is the winding described above.pics for interest
