Let's see some Hamilton 991's and 993's
Okay with the 222k photo limit I can't really post mine. Before I start anyone have a basic app for the Android? Free perfered my phone camera isn't a Nikon.

Digging out 30 or so pocket watches I found non-marked 991 and a 993. My real books are in the attic somewhere and I'm sporting a bad back. On inspection for about 30 minutes I don't see it

They are marked the same both look closer to the first 992 pattern. I expected something different or a stripped pattern on the 93. Serial numbers: 375230 and 393976. They read right in the watch guide.

It's been a long time and I know this board has some awesome researches. I'll dig deeper but I'm sure advanced age must be setting in for such a basic question.
Thanks for the help.

Roger the 992 I have has the stripped pattern. I may have to go digging though the SDB to find the first pattern.

Looks like I'm missing a variety but happy with the early models that are heavily damaskeend.

993 brings up 105 matches

Thanks for the effort Steven. Unfortunatly (I think) the loss of definition is due to the low pixil couny. I don't know how to get around it.
