Calling all Pocket Watch Buffs

Their 1st generation was not tested over time before being offered for sale.
My 1950 950B should have this 1st generation Melamine dial. Classic aging for a 1st generation. But correct.

Your 2nd generation dial was offered 1-2 years later and is correct for your 992B.

Now that I see it all blown-up.....it is quite handsome, uniform and unique in its' damage.

1954 Hamilton 992B with a Hamilton #379 Montgomery 2nd generation Melamine dial and Model 16 gf case. And as of around 1948-50, Hamilton black colored handset.

This one was fun to research.
John Marsh was a watchmaker and prominent Jeweler in Shrewsbury and had just ended a partnership and was going solo.
He contracted with Britain’s largest and technologically advanced firm, Rotherham & Sons in Coventry to produce an elite grade movement of a recently popular style of stopwatch for doctors, engineers and horse racing enthusiasts, the Centre Seconds Chronograph. This private label watch can measure to 1/5th of a second.
This one dates to 1882, an era when the production of a top tier timepiece still required a highly collaborative division of labor. On the very cusp of revolution.
Rotherham was chosen because they had developed a complex 3/4 plate fusee configuration allowing for a highly accurate chain system but keeping it more slim. All developed and manufactured in house.
They then contracted with a local silversmith renowned for supplying premium luxury watch cases, Charles Harris. Who in turn contracted with noted component specialist Joseph Sharpe to construct the pendant/stem tubes, crown and ring.
They all were in the Coventry area a few blocks away sometimes. As was the dial maker who produced such a highly complex but visually arresting piece of art.
To bring it all together and signify a Premium Late Victorian pocket watch, the movement serial number is carried to the Sterling Silver case and dial, 83378.

1945-6 was a frenzy of Consumer Demand in the US as Wartime restrictions were being relaxed or eliminated. It was no different for Hamilton as they were being swamped for product by their retailers.
Couple all that with Keystone having some factory issues ramping up and Hamilton having issues with their experimentation with Melamine dials necessitating a vault purge of 16s dials.
