I will be going to US soon for a short business trip.

Thanks for sharing !

I actually have no idea much about Hamilton, just know that it was used for the Men in Black movies, simply assumed it would have some linkage to the USA.

Anyways.....

Bulova precision IST and accutron watches. Quartz with sweep second hand movement.

Cocas · « **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2018, 08:13:44 AM »

I sought around Louisville town area, Chicago international airport and Dallas international airport.

But could find any local US brands watch.

Maybe will try find them in other places next time.
