I can hold back from buying one of these online, but if I ever saw one in a shop, behind the glass under all of those warm beautiful jewelers lights… I’d be in trouble.

It's always good to see you working on a vintage Hamilton MichaelYoda wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 7:21 am 20230802_135534_resized.jpg20230802_135522_resized.jpg20230802_135508_resized.jpg
Check out the angle of the case, it should be easier to see when driving.
It's a monocoque case and I will not lift out the movement, it's a 23 jewel movement.
This one was a gift from the family of a good friend of mine who passed too early.
Case shape is really interesting.
I understand why you don't want to lift out the movement,
yet I'd be curious to see what it looks like, would have a link or a pic of similar movement please?

It has been a while since I serviced this one, I am afraid that it was in October 2017.Fizzzz wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2023, 4:24 amIt's always good to see you working on a vintage Hamilton MichaelYoda wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 7:21 am 20230802_135534_resized.jpg20230802_135522_resized.jpg20230802_135508_resized.jpg

Unfortunately I don't remember the calibre and name of the model.

Thank you.
Considering the engraving dated 1961, and the small diameter,
it's probably a Swiss movement, so not that interesting ...

Re: The perpetual wrist shot thread
No, it's not a Swiss movement, Hamilton was bought by the Swiss (ETA) around 1969 - 1970 and the movement is beautifully decorated. I may pull out the movement to show it in all its glory. It starts on less than a full turn of the crown.Fizzzz wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2023, 4:53 amNo problem M,

I've never seen small size "real US" Hamilton movement with sophisticated decoration,
so I was supposing that it could be a rebranded Swiss movement like these used for MIL watches.
My MIL GG-W-113 movement : Hamilton caliber 649 is based on ETA 2750, and production started in 1967.
Your movement seems more sophisticated if 23 jewels.

I am sure that it will be an easy operation and I also need to tighten the cannon pinion a little, so why not kill two flies in one blow.Fizzzz wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2023, 8:14 amPlease don't risk to damage this sentimental watch for me and my curiosity![]()

Re: The perpetual wrist shot thread
I am not completely sure, but I have a faint sense of the movement being a calibre in the 700 or 800 series, the absolute last American movement from Lancaster Pennsylvania.
I really miss the independent makers and detest ETA and Swatch Group and the other idiots.
