Here is my first Hamilton 929 I purchased a few years ago. I finally got around to fixing it up and I think it turned out great.

It had a broken balance staff and the case was missing the crystal. Of course the case was not correct and the new case is not correct but since I don't have very many 18s hunter cases I picked this Silveroid tri-hinged case and I cleaned and polished it to go with the cleaned 929.

I have some before and after pictures.
