Thought I would join in today. Decided on the Hamilton Viscount......always seems to bring out a question or comment or two, when worn.....

That's a neat one. I don't collect later era Hamiltons for some reason. But here's a Brooke, which is futuristic in its way (1938 or so).

I thought I'd give my 14K Hamilton Polaris II Electric an airing today.

Nathan, cool watch!

Wearing my new green gold filled Oval today! The curved spring bar thing is a pain though...

Neat two-tone effect...

Adam,
nice watch, are you going to get it restored ?

Today I'm wearing my 14K LeCoultre which has a bump wind automatic movement. C. 1950's

Dave, I think I'm going to leave the dial as is; it's rare to find an original Oval dial, and this is a rare case variation (791 produced in green gf with plain bezel, according to Rene's book). I will get the movement serviced soon though.

I know this doesn't really belong here , and I'm not really a pocket watch kind of guy (yet), but I couldn't resist wearing this 12S ca. 1922 Elgin which was my great-grandfather's. My grandfather gave it to me before he died, while I was in high school, and I never expected I would wear it. Recently, I finally got it serviced, with a new main spring, and bought one of those neat little leather belt pouches that John "Cranster" sells, so I'm wearing it at last. Sorry I don't have a movement photo (yet), but it's a 7-jewel model, in white gold filled.

Beautifully engraved case back.

Fob and Art Deco designed pen knife came to me with the watch. I assume they are contemporaries.

Dave.
Very nice 'LeCoultre', must say I have not got one in my collection!
Think I shall have to obtain one!

the continuing saga of my sterling silver hamilton grant. now sporting an amazingly incorrect dial while the old one is refinished. i wear so much that i just couldn't go the month or so it will take to get it back. the pic looked a lot brighter on the camera, sorry.




and Dave, you are to blame for my new found determination to own a tonneau.

Brad, your temporary dial looks to be from a 1941 Douglas, produced only that year. Total production was 10,561. It would look to be a perfect fit to someone that doesn't know Hamiltons.

Here's one I bought from Rene a few years ago! It turned out to be a 40th birthday gift from my father...

I am wearing my reliable Ball Official Standard manual wind railroad wristwatch. Tomorrow I will wear my Ball Official Standard Trainmaster wristwatch with automatic movement. Both are outstanding perfomers as to accuracy and reliability.

Adam

Wonderful design

Another of my 983 0-size watches was chosen today.

This one in a rgp Star conversion case - the movement was rescued from a battered wire-lug case.
But there is something else to notice !

Dan.

Dan,
what a great looking watch Maybe you can make me one just like it

This old Rolex. Made for the Canadian market in WWII. I know I've shared this one before, but possibly not this pic.

WWI Wire Lug

Another Oyster.
