Have to call myself a fan of my time-only Hamilton. Picked up a few months ago as a local antique shop (sadly) was closing. Finding a microrotor inside was a very nice surprise!
Any Hamilton fans?

·I own a Hamilton Field Automatic that has been my almost daily "beater" watch and it has been a faithful companion. I have it on a Perlon strap, it is comfortable and accurate. It has some scratches and marks but so what.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorMy watch collecting started off with vintage Hamiltons and even though I’ve since moved on to mostly Omegas, I still have a soft spot for Hamiltons. Here is a small sample of vintage Hamiltons from my collection.
A advertisement for any newbie.

·I own an Omega Speedy Tuesday #1 LE, an Omega Seamaster 300 (no wave blue), however this will always be my favorite watch I own. It's my Grandfather's 50s era Hamilton that he wore just about everyday. I always saw him with it and it's my most prized possession. I've been actually thinking of diving into some more modern day Hamiltons in tribute to him. Here's a pic!

Vantage by way Hamilton. A short lived Hamilton sub brand. Strangely high quality during most of its run as a lower tier. Can’t see the red alarm hand...
AS movement shared by the Tutor alarms in this one.

·What I like about it is that it has that "military" watch look, but you can still dress it up.
I think the polished bezel has something to do with that.
I think I got my AD to knock about $100 off of it when I bought it as well.

·One that's caught my eye is the Khaki Navy Pioneer Small Seconds. For me, it seems to strike a great balance of simplicity and elegance. I'm hoping to add this to my own collection soon.

·Two of my significant conquests. These 2 Hamiltons I bought in Portland, Ore., about 30 years ago. These two are both private label watches for Canadian Hamilton dealers and railroad watch inspectors. The dial on the one is simply marked D R Dingwall Ltd. It would take a Canuck to recognize the name is for D R Dingwall Ltd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, a major divisional point back in the day. It would take a Hamilton lover to twig to the fact that the watch was a Hamilton, in spite of the private label. This watch is a grade 944, 19 jewel model.
The second one has a dial marked G M Rioch, Kenora, Ontario. I think this one was being ignored by others at the mart because of the distinctly Canadian private label name. Didn’t bother me! Again, it would take a Hamilton fan to twig to the possibility of it being a Hamilton. It was, and is. It is a grade 940, 21-jewels, and one of the mainstays in Hamilton’s arsenal of 18-size railroad watches.
