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

 

Very lovely piece. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203101336072Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

This one has the wrong crown and the lume is getting awfully brown. Didn't mean to rhyme that https://www.ebay.com/itm/184421290945Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Towards the higher end of what is considered a bargain but I had to share. Lovely bezel and I don't mind a that patina. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313212967807Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Yeah I know. It’s another birthday present...from the neighbours dogs vets sister. I think. For $55 who cares....

 

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.

Anyone know what crown size? Could look before it lands here?! I assume it’s a manual wind.

 

11:29PM, a couple Scotches....this thread is dangerous. Just sayin'

 

This thread is dangerous sober too don't know what I'd buy on here after having a couple of beers...

 

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

 

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'm excited for you on this one!

 

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.

 

It’d make a good avatar

 

"75"!! Damn dude! Time to build a wall of record holders!
