Hi all

I have the possibility of getting hold of a Vietnam war Hamilton that would hold some personal value to me, but I am not really well equipped to say if it all looks legit. Do we have any experts here that can give me some thougts on if this is fake all the way through.

I know the hands are not correct. But what about the rest. I have no more pics than this.

All help appreciated.

The marker color is different from any of the examples I just saw on Google.

Maybe they look slightly bigger as well???

These watches would be relumed by a contractor, rendering the lume uneven.

Could maybe explain the size of indexes as well I assume. Still feels like I am not buying a genuine watch in such case, or?

These are not hard to find, why buy one that isn’t fully correct?

Yea... if they are easy to find (have not looked around too much yet actually) then most likely I will keep looking. Just wanted your consolidated view on it.

These come up often on MWR, and they are usually all original. Take a tour around there and see what they have

Opened the thread hoping to add some value to the conversation.

I see that a number of our fine forum members have covered all the necessary bases.

Good luck on your hunt. Your piece is out there waiting to come home with you!
