·I had a couple hundred vintage Hamiltons at one time, but have trimmed the collection down to just a select few. Here is a 1928 Oval in solid gold.
Any Hamilton fans?

·I love Hamilton watches. I don’t have a field watch, but I do own a Khaki Pilot GMT and an X-Patol. I really like their price points and tend to gravitate to their funkier styles.

·I took this photo for another thread. It's been a great companion these past few years. I should've taken a picture while the strap was still pristine and compared it to now.

·Might chime in here with confirming that about half a dozen of official individual NASA portraits show the astronaut wearing a Hamilton
(e.g. Donald Holmquest and Robert Parker )

··ΩF InvestiGatorI have a 1926 ladies Hamilton strap watch (called Milady's Watch of Accuracy in the catalog 🙄), which is probably one of the last times a men's and women's watch shared the same movement (both models ran a 986a)
http://vintagewatchforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=165
Note that the Grade 987 movements were the same 6/0 size as the 986A’s, but by 1936, these were no longer used in ladies watches.
Hope this helps,

·Gotta love the Hamilton catalogues!

··ΩF InvestiGatorI'd rather have the original than the homage:
BTW, the company was not named after Alexander Hamilton. It was named after the founders of Lancaster County, PA, Andrew and James Hamilton.
