I am very pleased with the watch. It was all I expected it to be. I also couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else. The shipping was very fast, and the watch was well packed. I don't know when Hamilton changed their packaging, but I am very disappointed. Instead of a box, the watch came in a zipper container. To me Hamilton is a quality timepiece and the container the watch came in can onlt be described as cheap. I don't know if Ashford has anything to do with this. If Hamilton did it, I will probably never purchase a new watch from them again.
