...I have for some time wanted a Hamilton Electric 505...missed one awhile back that Lindell offered...had heard/read that they were very unreliable timekeepers and had a tendancy to "self-destruct"...well in spite of these reports, I wanted one if only to connect the dots on Hamilton's history of being the first to introduce an 'electric'...well here 'tis and I'm proud to say that in 24 hours it only lost 12 seconds vs the NIST timecheck...needless to say after that I pulled the crown and hung it up to admire it...

Nice watch!

And 12 seconds a day..well, that migh tnot be tolerated from a "regular wristwatch" but 12 seconds a day for Hamilton electric is SUPERIOR!

Comgratulations a very clean and super looking watch!

...thanks Jeff...it's a big'un...it measures over 35mm across...fortunately I have a big wrist...I hadn't realized that it was so wide...I had pictured it somewhat akin to my military Ham mechanicals in size...I'm very pleased with it and to have it in the collection...
