    New pick up for me: Hamilton Ordnance piece from the early 1940s. In very nice condition (considering the age!) and with an agreeable patina.

    Very nice! What's the dial size on that? I'm looking at one one ebay right now that says the lug width is 16mm, but yours looks bigger.

    And if you don't mind me asking, what did you pick yours up for?

    This measures 32 mm, plated case (as many were around that time), lugs of 16 mm (increased mag of iPhone picture). Got it for $300 USD and shipping, which is typical of a something in this condition. Try Military Watch Resource (MWR) for comparisons. These Hamiltons do not come up often, but certainly lots of other US issued pieces to be found there.

    Can you post a pic of the caseback? I'd love to see what code the SAAF uses.

    Swiss Raid Commando - came in a box of crap watches. Turns out, there is a very cool story behind this Gallet / Adanac / Marathon. Google it and be prepared to hit "translate" ;)
