My Newest Hamilton, A 16s 961
Picked this one up lately and got it back to running today. Overall it is in ver nice shape. The case though looks to be too new for it as it is a keystone, but is setup with the correct detent stem and has no extra case marks. anyone have any thoughts on it? I will probably try to find a hunter case for it down the road.

Thanks,

Jared

Movement shot. Very clean. Pendant set version. Comments welcome!

Your movement #81201 is a nice example Jared. I agree, it belongs in a hunter case, like my somewhat later 961P example (movement #81600).

Jared, do you know what the arrow is for? (Below the stem).. Just curious

The arrow, which is only on the detent-stem Hamiltons, shows which direction to move the screw (UNDER the top 'plug' screw) to loosen and pull out the stem.

Barry-

Thanks for the explanation on that. I was assuming thats what it was for, but with such a big arrow, it doesn't do a good job of it... Thanks to everyone for the comments too... Now to find a nice case for it...
