Did someone say Piping Rock? Both of mine are from 29. I have a third 979 movement with a better dial and hands that I will use for the yellow gold one when I clean it.

@S.H. - your post inspired the purchase of a model 9858, not the one pictured but the same model. My first ‘neo-vintage’ Hamilton.

Nice ! Also typical of the era... I have mostly seen quartz in the 3-hander collection.

Hi Guys!

I got this one on an auction - Khaki, Navy Frogman, from 2010, I have never seen it before, but a nice and fun daily beater!

Cheers!

Hamilton 694 A, aka ETA 2472, c.1970. Acquired out of an estate sale, nice old watch but it's had a lifetime of long use.

Before



Will see how it looks after a well earned service.





After


Love these classically proportioned mid-century Hamiltons 😀

Just received our 600 diver back after a movement service by Tempvs Fvgit in NYC. Can anyone steer me towards where to find an 18mm JB Champion or similar bracelet to fit this? I understand a Hamilton marked one is tough to find so I'll take anything as long as the head links fit well.



Thanks for any suggestions and if no vendors that deal in this stuff come to mind then I'll try posting a WTB here and see what can be found in a private sale 👍

I've purchased numerous pieces here over the years.

So far I've only spotted overpriced repro 18mm beads of rice bracelets so I'm gonna roll up my sleeves, dig into our box of random bracelets and parts and make my own. I'll post pictures once I have something whipped together 😁
