Hamilton offered many European designs often not found in the U.S. catalogs in the late 60’s & early 70’s. These often had reference numbers 640XX - X. This gorgeous 1968 Hamilton 600 Broad Arrow Diver Ref. 64034-3 is powered by cal. 64A, same mvt. as the 600 Super Compressor cased model 64040-3.

Because today is July 2nd, these are the 2 watches I will wear today. Today would have been my maternal Grandfather's 105th birthday were he still with us. In tribute to the man he was, I will wear his utilitarian Timex Marlin the majority of my day. He was a typical, frugal, Maine Yankee gentleman farmer and survivor of the Battle of the Bulge. The Marlin and it's no nonsense, no frills, no airs about it, watch kind of sums him up, minus his warmth. The 16030 was worn during my 2 mile walk this morning to keep it wound and I may wear it again this evening. Today marks the 1 yr anniversary that I bought the watch, although I didn't receive it until the 12th. More on that I am sure in 10 days. LOL. Because I found the Rolex on this day, I sort of feel like my Grandfather, who passed in '93, was looking over my shoulder and helped me find it on that day, even if he would have felt it an extravagance. Enjoy your long weekend, everyone.

My vintage watch, ref. 165.020
According to the factory number it was produced in 1964, 1-2 months after my birth.
I have sworn her eternal fidelity 😀
Still we don´t fit together. I just wished I look remotely as virgin.
