Bob KapinosMy First Hamilton 940
I found this one the other night on Ebay. The price was very reasonable so I bought it. Does it appear to be correct? Your opinions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Bob

David AbbeHI Bob, I looked at this listing too. The seller hsa a good record and the nice Motor Barrel Gold filled movement with a good looking Montogomery dial are definite pluses. So I think you did OK.

Tony DukesBob,
A fully marked 940 is a good one to have in your collection.

Bob KapinosDavid and Tony,
Thanks for the reply. Usually I ask opinions before buying, but this time I took a chance. There is an old Hamilton ad I saw on the Elgin site that helped me to make my decision. The dial in the ad looks like my dial or so it seems to me.

Let me know if you have any luck finding a new mainspring, last time I found one to fit the 940 I got the impression there were not many left.

You are correct, it is a silveroid swing-out type case.

Leon HarrisHi Bob, Nice watch. Those 18 size Hamilton Montgomery Dials are not as easy to find, and in nice condition, For your 1st 940, good job.
