From video reviewers

The bezel action is smooth. The price has increased due to popularity.

Hamilton American Classic Valiant Auto

Owners widely praise the Hamilton American Classic Valiant Auto for its classic design elements, such as the sunburst dial and Roman numerals, noting its suitability for everyday elegance and wearability under a cuff. One owner highlights the 39.5mm size and applied indices as a "hidden gem," while another appreciates the clean, simple design with thin Roman numerals. The watch is also commended for its comfortable bracelet and attractive lance hands, with confirmation that the bracelet is indeed changeable. Some owners note the date window's placement at three o'clock is a point of contention, and one owner reports the watch runs at approximately +6 seconds per day after ten years of intermittent use.
