(As yet) undecorated (spruce) tree.

This 60s monocoque still has the original signed and semi-recessed crown

Two Jazzmasters. They’re certainly chunky buggers with those bracelets!

Then a more recent Khaki Aviation

I have a relatively modest collection of pocket watches and don’t really seek them out on a regular basis but I couldn’t resist this one, an early 70s Bryan II in solid 10k gold with original boxes and paperwork.

OOOH! Nice! Almost 50 years old. A real time capsule.

Love those Hamiltons! I have several pocket and wristwatches. Most recent recent acquisition is a 50's era sea-scout.

I bought this 10-karat Thin-O-Matic Masterpiece for scrap price. The movement is in nice shape, but rotor post is broken, and since it is made of unobtainium, I haven’t been lucky enough to find a replacement. I don’t wear it.

My 950B sends New Years salutations! My 950 as well! The 950 is from 1927, 96 years old.

Purchased this Hamilton Estoril recently on eBay at a reasonable price. I did a quick polish on the crystal and tightened up some screws inside the movement. One of the screws had come off (see the last photo).

It will need a full service and possibly a new crystal, but I couldn't stop myself from tidying up a bit for now. I have a NOS crown for it on the way. I will take better photos when I'm done with it eventually.

This is what it looked like before the quick clean-up:

It’s just a silly thing but I much prefer the Estorils, like your acquisition, which have 'estoril' written in a Calibri (?) style script to those with Cursive(?) lettering.

And a date window at '6' is stylish.

Looks a nice watch.

Fortunate to own three Hamiltons which were surprise gifts from the love of my life and much as I love them all the 'Bronze' is the favourite 😀

Just picked up this cool
HAMILTON
Jazzmaster GMT
Ref: H32 695 731
on eBay

It came with the wrong Instruction booklet and I am a bit confused about setting the "red hand" shown in the pic below
So far Hamilton's website has been no help
Does anybody have a link to the correct Instructions, I couldn't find the right video on youtube either.
Thanks.

I think we still have a thin-o-matic movement in nice running condition in our misc. boxes. It came out of a similar watch that was scrapped for gold. It was in a bag of movement and non-running watches we picked up in NYC. I'll take a look.
