I have what I believe is a Hamilton 943 the serial number is 107869, from what I have been able to find only 2,700 were made so I believe it could be qworth some money I would just like some honesty opinions on what a fair price would be from someone who knows more than me watch is in perfect running condition and keeping time perfectly.

Hi Derrick,

WELCOME ABOARD, GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US!

Here is a link to "Hamilton Movement Number Listings and Hamilton Horology Reference Materials" where on the Gelson List you can find practically any Hamilton watch by its movement number plus access a ton of other important information.

Specifically Hamilton Number 107869 is from a run of Grade 943 consisting of 107801-108000 during 1901 production. Approximately 2.400 were produced from 1900 through 1908 according to our records.

For values consult the Complete Guide to Watches 2015 Edition on page 238 where it carries one star for rarity and values in the 350 / 600 / 800 range depending upon condition.

The Hamilton 943 is the Hunter version of the Grade 942 which is a step up from 940 movements.

Hope this is of help,

Cousin Razz Lindell
