It was nice of him to think of you and give you this gift, but you were right to have doubts.
It was very nice, I will take her to lunch one day as a thank you. 😀
When were you enlisted? I post them on the bargain thread when I find them in good shape at a fair price (usually between $250-400) and as the years are printed on the back, it’s easy to know. Anywhere from a month to a year before your enlistment date would have been appropriate for when it was made.
This was also the period when there was an overlap with Benrus:
Mine from ‘69
I was given this Hamilton military watch from a co-worker, no details about where it came from or who it belonged to. Since it was dated during a time that I was in Vietnam and Laos during my last tour I accepted it with my thanks. After looking at it closely, including the face, back and movement I have my doubts it's a real Hamilton. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
