Stainless Certina with nice looking dial behind the crystal (possibly nothing a wet sand couldn't fix), case looks sharp- crown is obviously not correct but easily resolved.

Mine now. Gulp. Anyone got a crown?
I thought you were signing off for your vacay!
eBay has a bunch, was gonna link them but don't know what size you need

11:29PM, a couple Scotches....this thread is dangerous. Just sayin'
don't know what I'd buy on here after having a couple of beers...
Hamilton Estroil 300- this thing is insane. This is everything awesome about late 60's Hammy's.
Let's start with the dial- sunburst radial dial, bright perfect lume pips with matching baton hands, date window as 6- my favorite date placement.
Case- this has razor sharp lugs, crisp brushing on the sides and lugs and the radial brushing on the bezel is fantastic
The Back- medallion is deep and lettering is crisp, polished outer edge is stunning.
I don't think this was worn much and never saw a buffing wheel. It runs but needs a service- probably just becuase it sat for so long. Make an offer and steal this thing.

Aaaaaand, offer accepted! $364.79, including shipping and taxes. Hoping I did well, and this nice little machine will become a regular in the rotation, or possibly a gift to a friend that has done me a many solid at work!
Thanks @JwRosenthal!
I imagine it would look something like this...
Sits down at computer or holds your phone.
Sees right wrist
"you get a watch!" *click* (purchases watch)
Sees left wrist
"You get a watch!" *click*
Sees reflection in the screen you are looking into
"YOU GET A WATCH!!!!" *click*
Then
Haha! This is exactly what I was imagining when typing that!
This is how I acted when I first got into vinyl.
I'd come home after an evening at the local and say to myself, "Self, what would it be really cool to hear right now?"
This was eventually cured when a box of 75 Sinatra records showed up at my door.
