·Currently on sale on a French website, the sellers says that Vantage was owned by Hamilton, don’t know if it is accurate, but a nice watch

Printing on the dial looks a little sloppy to my eyes, but never having seen this brand before maybe that is how they normally look.
Does look like a Hamilton product.

This blog http://www.hamiltonchronicles.com/2017/05/nothing-runs-like-hamilton.html says that Vantage were a cheaper line introduced by Hamilton in the 1960/70s.

·I really like the dial on this guy. Hard to capture in a photo, but there is something about it that is really pleasing.

·Picked up this W10 a few weeks ago. Couldn't be happier. Not a fan of the re-issue and originals can be had for a lot less.

·Picked up the K-475 from my watchmaker yesterday 🥰
Gorgeous! No one was able to out do Hamilton when it came to the retro-futuristic designs of their asymmetrical cases.

·I recently stumbled onto an odd ball I've never seen before. Purchased from a collector buddy. It appears to be a Hamilton Pan Europ made for the European market. It's similar to the Dateline A-579 which is stainless steel but this is 18k solid gold. Very light (nearly invisible) Pegasus engraving on the back And six digit model number like the other model.
😀 I can't quite figure this one out but it looks legit.

·I think you’re right about it being a European model. Hallmarks suggest the case was manufactured by Guillod Gunther SA in La Chaux-de-Fonds (http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/swisspdm.php).
Similar markings/hallmarks on this 18k model I owned.

·Stopped by my watchmaker’s shop today to pick up this Lord Lancaster FF from 1968/9. The Lord Lancaster FF features a solid 14k white gold case and a bezel decorated with 24 diamonds. This was the most expensive model in the lineup with a whopping list price of $400, which if I’m not mistaken was the approximate price of an 18k Constellation at that time. I guess it’s not surprising why buyers preferred the connie but the LL is still a pretty unique piece.

·My wife gave me this watch as a present for my last birthday... it’s very precise and trendy. The only problem and I disagree its balamce wheel. Infact the H50 movement is an Eta innovation reserved only to some product of Swatch group. Its balamce wheel can’t be adjusted to indipendent watch repairer (there isn’t a manual adjustement system) and it has been necessarely sent to Hamilton House. However, Hamilton watchmaker doesn’t adjust a balance wheel but directly replaces the entire movement with an other. This replace of entire movement, infact, for Hamilton, is less expensive than to adjuste the single balance wheel pay for watcmaker (that would be possible only with Eta/Hamilton laser system). There are several implecations. First, the indipendent watch repairer can’t works (with chiper prices for his custumer); second, in this way isn’t guarantee the historical originality. Third, the movement become disposable and not with mechanical peculiarity. The watch remains a very nice watch, estetically
