Howard-
They’ve actually got the pictures the wrong way round there.
Picture on the first one is hesalite (acrylic) crystal, second one is sapphire. Sapphire one also has a sapphire caseback, hence they do a bit more to the movement in terms of presentation, which also bumps the price up.
You can tell the difference in pics because the sapphire crystal has a white “halo” around the edge that the acrylic crystal does not.

Oh yeah, you’re right. I got confused when I tried one in Ernest Jones few weeks back, the woman said there’s one “special edition” coming in soon for £5000. She didn’t know what she was talking about.
Agree about the size of the Hamilton, great looking watch and would be perfect at 38mm.
