I’m holding this one for a friend while he decides whether to buy it or not. I should know in ten days or so. In the meantime, I am oh so tempted to buy it myself. This is a fairly scarce 16-size, 21-jewel, Hamilton grade 994. Hamilton made this watch in pendant set and lever set, and they only made about 1,100 of them in total. Perfect double-sunk vitreous enamel dial, gold train wheels, gold jewel settings and balance screws, lever set, perfect Hamilton marked swing ring case. Circa 1914. It is closely related to the Hamilton grade 952 (19-jewels), and the grade 950 (23-jewels). This is the only Hamilton I have ever seen with this unusual damask finish. Can you blame me for wearing it today?



The pocketwatchdatabase.com has this to say about it.

Raining today so no Easter egg hunts, kids are chocolated out any way and it means I can have a rest, need to put a battery in a G Shock GA-100 so at least I won't be bored.

Check out the jet on the seconds hand. Cool Caravelle from 1969 and a smoke. 😀

Earlier on the wrist jumping at Ka Lae, which is on Hawaii's Big Island, and is as far south as you can go in the United States.

if that’s you jumping off that very high cliff, I’m impressed 😲 and not just by the watch!
