Hamilton 992B sold in Canada Question Did Hamilton buy Canadian made cases and sell as a complete watch or did they ship the movements to Canada and they installed the movements into their own cases? Thanks in advance. Robert | ||

Robert, My understanding is the movements were shipped into Canada and cased there... I have a shipping case with a 992B serial number pictured maybe somewere on the boards. I will try to post it again tonight... of course I am always looking for other opinions and documentation... | ||||

|
Terry, Thanks, do you have any information as to who made the special dials? Robert | |||

Robert, We sold a nice one just last night... EARLY 992B, CANADIAN PACIFIC PORCELAIN DIAL, CANADIAN CASE! That case is a Canadian "Fortune / Sturdy" which evidently was manufactured using dies from the previous Hamilton Model 7 Case. The dial is flawless porcelain-enamel with an extremely wide outer chapter.  | |||

Lindell, Thanks, Tony bought a super nice watch. As you mentioned, quote, "The Canadian Government required Canadian-Made Cases on watches sold there!", I was just curious how this process took place, i.e. mating the movement to the case. Robert | |||

Looks like they used case screws...   | |||

Lindell, Sorry, correcting my mistake, its "where" not "how".  Robert | |||

Seems to me I've heard there was a facility in Canada but that recollection is a bit foggy. I'm sure someone will be able to fill in the details.  | |||
|
as promised.... far as I know, Hamilton made the dials...  | ||||
|

Terry, Thank you, looks like a 1946 era movement holder. Do you know of other Canadian Case Mfg. other than "Fortune" that housed the 992B? Robert | |||
|
The Fortune BRAND case seemed to be very popular, in different styles... Like the Style Lindell posted, and other styles "like" the mainliner... and have seen a few other styles, but hard to describe. Cashier also seemed to be a popular case in Canada, but I don't have much info. | ||||

Thanks, Robert | |||
