Hamilton Thin-o-matic, linen dial, micro-rotor, $370.

Photos are a little lacking. Case looks a bit polished.

Says 34mm. I couldn't say if that is accurate or actually means 33 point something.

Case back says waterproof, but I can't tell if it's screw-back or some kind of pressure deal.

I see another one sold last month for $330 with possibly a slightly sharper case but dial discoloration.

Nice looking watch. I wouldn't expect it to last too long.

Thanks for posting. I have been looking for a Pennsylvania-manufactured Hamilton (although the movement is Swiss), and the seller accepted my offer of $325. I'll post a pick once received and cleaned up.

In case you missed it…

OF super bargain alert from our own @jerryct - super groovy Wyler with (how can I describe this) Supersonic (ya like that??) dial. This watch screams space-age and is eye catching.

I believe the bracelet is factory original but if not it is absolutely period correct and awesome (with a quick removal link system).

If you love mid century modern- this is about as good as it gets.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I don't always follow this thread. I think it's pretty fairly priced at $580 + $10 shipping, and the Make Offer option is also enabled. I'm trying to resist making an offer because I really don't need another skin diver.

That was one hell of a nice deal. This is an excellent example, and if you got it Aaron- way to go!
Seriously! Sellers often try to sell these for well over $1,000. In 2020 I missed out on an excellent example that sold for at auction for, no joke, $666. I regretted forgetting about the auction end time and since that sale, had not seen another reasonably priced 666… until now. Was not going to think twice about it. Specially considering Dan shared it 👍. I know what that means

I have been on the fence about this one for a long time. Great watch, good price, but I really don't need another watch. I'm embarrassed to admit, I am concerned I won't be able to read the time correctly without 12 markers.

In case others are interested, here is the link.

Maybe a picture on the funky bracelet might put me, or someone else over the edge @jerryct

New purchase just in. Very pleased with its condition. The linen dial changes from silver to grey depending on the lighting. Thanks for the referral!

We’ll, time to report back in as I just received this and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. This is in excellent condition and just gorgeous. Time to step up my 18mm strap game though as I don’t have anything that will fit it. Pardon the harsh early afternoon California light

Very nice, mine says ‘hi’. Coincidentally bought via this dangerous enabling thread!

And they aren't selling. I have kept my eye on a particular dealer that has a couple Snorkels and some Caravelle Sea Hunter's for sale that are all over $1200. He's had them for sale for at least a year. You got a good watch at a fair price.

Beauty, lovely lume colour and nice to see the bezel still has its lume pip. I don’t think the crown is original though and maybe keep an eBay alert for a NOS crystal, it was this one for mine but to be sure check inside the caseback for the reference number (top tip courtesy of Mr Rosenthal).

Thank you! No, the crown isn’t original but I have the part number for it and on the lookout. The crystal isn’t original either, but I may already have a hook for that from another member 👍 but thank you for sharing that one! And what you shared is the correct crystal part number.

Damn I have been hovering over that Buy It Now button many times. Good to see it ended up here. What a great example, congrats!
