Hamilton Boone, from 1936. Refinished dial. N.B. the "coin edge" sides.

Adam,

Very nice example! Whoever did the dial did a great job.

Wore my Hamilton "Howard" today.

Adam

Back of case. All dark spots are from glare. Case is as nice as they come.

Adam - do you have a movement photo of your "Howard"? These are very special watches, even to us pocketwatch collectors, as part of the tail end of the E.Howard story.

Jerry,

Here is the movement photo. It sure is an interesting story.

Adam

Wow that is the first Howard Wristie I have seen. I heard mention of them but never saw one. THanks for posting it. Do you know how many Hamilton made for Howard?

Rob,

Check out this website. It will give you all the information you ever wanted to know.

I wore this one yesterday & today. LeJour 3 register chronograph. Has a nice Valjoux 72 movement. It is the newest addition to my chrono collection. I have been working on it (in between family and friends watches) for about 2 weeks. Movement & case were very dirty and it was not keeping time or functioning correctly. So far it is keeping excellent time and working great.

Amazing how I used to do certified rebuids from frame up on heavy equipment and to look at anything more than a normal watch makes me nervous to tear into. I am not by no means a watch repairman but I have tore several down just to see how they work and see if I could but looking at that watch Adam makes me turn around and run to think about tearing down. Nice Watch and great job.

After seeing Rich's new LeCoultre Automatic I had to dig mine out and wear it. My case is slightly different, with straight lugs and a little boxier 14K case. The movement is a cal.493

Jerry, very nice!

A super little 'LeCoultre!'

Would be a pleasure to grace my wrist!

Approximate date?

Timely regards.

Jerry,
Great Lecoultre
Today an Illinois after restoration I have the full job listed in Time On my hands thread

Hamilton Perry in white gold filled, ca. 1933. Original dial (can you tell? ).

Adam

I love how even the crown is streamlined.

This is a ca. 1943 Omega manual wind (15J), which keeps very accurate time and has a 40-hour power reserve. I believe this is the original dial. It's a relatively small watch (30 mm), like most of the military watches of that era. I bought it this year from a dealer in the UK.

Adam

Another view.

Adam,

Nice Omega. I like the dial!
