Ken HabeebHamilton 910 casing
Speaking of that Ham 910, the database has this note at the top: "Only Sold Already Cased by Hamilton."
But this watch is in a Montauk 20-yr swing-out case w/o any other case marks. Does this mostly likely mean A) it was recased at some point by a jeweler or watchmaker into an unused swing-out case? or B) there are exceptions to the Database "rule."
I see that others on eBay are in Hamilton-marked cases, so I favor the former, however odd it may be to consider recasing into a swing-out, which Hamilton did use, if not often.
Whatever the case, that watch is a good runner.

Ken HabeebDo any members here have a Hamilton 910 that is in a case w/o extra case marks, but not in a Hamilton case?
