Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second QuartzvsResco Custom C1: Stainless Gen2 GMT, Stealth dial (orange GMT hand)

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz for its excellent value around $300, thin profile at 7mm to 8.4mm, and clean dial design with superb applied hour numerals and dauphine hands. One owner finds its champagne dial particularly upscale. However, the lume is considered terrible, barely lasting a few minutes, and the crown is noted as very small and difficult to manipulate. On balance, owners rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz highly for its thinness and clean dial design at the price.

Owners widely praise Resco's robust cases and durability, with one owner noting their RTAC endured heavy use without issues and the company provided replacement strap pins. The watches are also noted for their unique green color, historical context, and limited production, fitting well with an outdoorsy lifestyle. However, some owners consider Resco watches expensive for their movements and not great value for money, and the return process can involve substantial fees. Additionally, warranty repairs require returning the watch to the US. Overall, owners rate Resco highly for its durability and unique aesthetic, despite concerns about value and service logistics.
