From a wreck to a wearable classic -- this was in the condition shown at top - but because it had a 981 Hamilton movement it had to have originally been in an early wristwatch, since the 981 was specifically developed for men's wristwatches. Only 2,200 981 movements were made, and less than 10% will have survived.
