    I used to own a little Hardy model Hamilton that was powered by a 921, it was a pretty good watch, handsome too.

    Love my Khaki with a silver dial. Stock photo doesnt do it justice. I did upgrade the strap though.

    I just picked up this beauty at an antique store for $25 while visiting family in rural Montana :whistling: !!
    IMG_3887.jpg

    Hamilton grade "Special 974", size-16, with 17 jewels and a 10K yellow gold filled case. Referred to as the “Traffic Special”, it was produced from 1928 through 1940 for electric commuter train services.

    IMG_3894.jpg

    This example is apparently from the later production years, as it was cased by the Star Watch Company (stamped caseback), which were a small subset of the later production models.

    Currently running; but dry as a bone and desperately in need of a service, so it's off to the spa later this week !

    My Hamilton Piping Rock 1928 World Series Reissue. Unfortunately, it's quartz and not the manual :(

    My friend owns one of the 35 originals from 1928... the one presented to catcher Bill Dickey. I get to borrow the watch every once in a while.

    Been eying the khaki for a while, pulled the trigger on brown dial...have too many white and black dials, and the brown is subtle, “tropical”-ish. Will probably put on a different nato—not a fan of the leather accent on the standard band. Nice, simple, no date, thin and legible. Look fwd to wearing.
