·Being on the hunt for a new one (which I won’t name until I’ll get it), I’ve just come across this topic.
The first one, I bought it as a substitute to the very sought after Heuer 2447 NS. A friend of mine insisted a lot to get it from my hands and I made the mistake to sell it eventually. Long story short, he sold it right away for a profit to an other party without any notice. No need to say he is no longer a friend of mine 👎
Next in line are this nice Hamilton G.S. (stand for General Service) tropicalized ...
.... then the rarer 24h dial version...
... and finally a 6B 9101000, aka poorman’s Mark 11
... for what I dare to call a pretty nice trio 😀

·I wore a Hamilton whenever in the field on active duty in the 80s and own many Hamiltons from WWII. I love them plenty.

·Hamilton offered many European designs often not found in the U.S. catalogs in the late 60’s & early 70’s. These often had reference numbers 640XX - X. This gorgeous 1960’s Hamilton 600 Broad Arrow Diver Ref. 64034-3 is powered by cal. 64A, same mvt. as the 600 Super Compressor cased model 64040-3. It reminds me of the iconic Omega Seamaster CK 2913

··Yoda of YodelersTwo of my significant conquests. These 2 Hamiltons I bought in Portland, Ore., about 30 years ago. These two are both private label watches for Canadian Hamilton dealers and railroad watch inspectors. The dial on the one is simply marked D R Dingwall Ltd. It would take a Canuck to recognize the name is for D R Dingwall Ltd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, a major divisional point back in the day. It would take a Hamilton lover to twig to the fact that the watch was a Hamilton, in spite of the private label. This watch is a grade 944, 19 jewel model.
The second one has a dial marked G M Rioch, Kenora, Ontario. I think this one was being ignored by others at the mart because of the distinctly Canadian private label name. Didn’t bother me! Again, it would take a Hamilton fan to twig to the possibility of it being a Hamilton. It was, and is. It is a grade 940, 21-jewels, and one of the mainstays in Hamilton’s arsenal of 18-size railroad watches.

·I've been eying the modern Hamilton Khaki Mechanical for a while and today bit the bullet and bought one.
Don't care for the canvas strap with the eyelets so swapped it for a grey NATO as soon as I got home.
