    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone can put a model reference to this 60s Hamilton for me. The closest I've come is the 7723 but this one doesn't have the tachy scale round the dial, it's the same as the Tradition chronos but branded differently, is it just another version of the same reference?

    On that note also, if anyone has one for sale, either panda or reverse panda, I'd be very interested to hear from you.

    I'm no expert on these, but is your case stamped with the reference between the lugs, like this one?

    Actually the watch isn't mine, it's just a photo from the web. It's just exactly what I'm after so it would be good to know the reference if anyone can help.

    It’s just a WTB skirting the 200 post rule.

    Alright, please forget the bit about what I'm looking for, you can call off the law enforcers, all I'd really like to know is the model reference.

    I used to owned one. Regret selling actually.

    I think it is 7723, normally with a Valjoux 7730

    2 red cards for this thread? That's a bit harsh!
    Where can I find the rules so I don't keep treading on toes and upsetting the forces that be?

    As an obtuse American, who only watches football played with an oblong spheroid, my very meager understanding of rules of the game of soccer tells me that a red card disqualifies you from the balance of a particular match and possibly the next one as well.

    I don’t think that has happened here.

    Instead, you have received one of these:

    A minor infraction, but just like in a real football game, too many will impede your progress.

    Good luck,

    OK, thanks for the clarification, I now seem to have 7 of them so I guess I'd better read those rules quick!

    When you're getting whipped around here, you'll know it, and not have to think about it.

    Your gentle act of contrition and seeking help will hasten your entrance back into the Forum Fold.


    Welcome!

    Now, post some pictures, or you will continue to be on the outside looking in around here,:D

    I believe they also go by the name of Hamilton chrono-matic as well and have a cal 11 that was shared amongst a few other brands iirc.
    There was one sold here a couple more than back, really lovely looking watch.

    Not quite, the one in Vitezi's link has the tachy scale around the dial and the chrono-matic has the date function at 6 o'clock, neither are the model in the first picture above.

    Yes, True. was thinking more of just the Hamilton pandas in general.

    The Hamilton records get a little squishy in the late 60s/early 70s. Dealer catalogs that I've seen (68-74) do not explicitly feature the non-tachy version, but the model name is Chronograph B (black, non-date) and Chronograph A for the panda version.
