    Looking to sell a fantastic and quite uncommon Hamilton Stormking II from the mid-1950s. The Storming II was manufactured from 1955-7, and was relatively expensive at the time ($150-175). You’ll often see the more common Stormking models that have stainless cases or stainless backs.

    Really unique quadrant dial with solid 18k gold markers.

    Grade 735 manually wound movement that was serviced a few months ago. Last photo was taken by my watchmaker during the service.

    Pictured vintage expanding bracelet is included in the sale.

    Pictured vintage Hamilton box is also included.

    $700 USD (net) plus shipping from Canada.

    Don’t break up the set- keep the family together.

    This really is a beautiful piece, and one of the last fine American made watches.

    I’m surprised that mid-century Hamilton models aren’t more popular. Great design and quality.

    Hamilton Stormkings make for a nice theme for a collection. The gold ones are more difficult to find. So this would be a great start, or addition.

    For what it’s worth, I bought the watch in an open eBay auction earlier this year and paid $650 USD (can provide proof of the auction result) and I’ve since had the watch serviced.

    I’ve received some low offers and trade suggestions for watches worth about $300-400 that I will ignore going forward.

    The listed price ($700 for the set, $650 watch head) is firm. No trades.

    I love the Sector dial, it is amazing. I really dig this thing. So hard to not pull the trigger.

    One last bump before it goes back into the collection.
