Hey guys, long time no speak! So recently I acquired a new Hamilton pocket watch off eBay, it has a strange dial, there are initials (or at least I assume) replacing the 9 and 3 hour markers. I was wondering if anyone can't tell me anything about the watch. Thank you, Francesco ![]() | ||

Back when these were made one could get letters of their name or organization in place of the numerals direct from the manufacturer. We usually see 12 letters and rarely do we see just two letters, interesting, especially if they happen to be yours. regards, bb | |||

Looks like there are THREE letters, Buster...There's an "O" at 12. | |||

So the initials would be R O M? | |||

It's possible... Or starting at 12 position and going clock-wise; O-M-R Since we didn't have it done or weren't privy to the order, it's going to be near impossible to say, and is going to be open to speculation, no doubt.... regards, bb | |||

Roger, O as in double-O-seven, Moore. Of this I am quite certain. Also extremely valuable because of this fact! William | |||

Romeo, Oscar, Mike. Here we go again. That is a double-naught spy watch for sure ![]() | |||

William If indeed that is Roger Moore watch, it is very collectable. How do we know for certain? Mike | |||

Any way we look at the initials, it is a nice example of a Hamilton 917. Good buy! | |||
