987 movement

Inside case back

Well this is the only Hamilton wristwatch I have.It was given to me from a active duty Master Chief and a Master Diver in the US Navy from another forum.It was beat up had no second hand.And did not work.Asked to get a second hand here and got a good hand from Roger thanks Roger it fit.Had it serviced and now it works great and the hand don't look bad it's a Hamilton general purpose US Military issued in 1978 7 jewel movement.

Does the A signify Airborne?

Kaki Automatic

Bolton
Correction: Boulton

One of my old ones.

The movement .

Another nice Hamilton.

This was my Grandfather's gold presentation watch for 25 years service at Hope Natural Gas Co. in West Virgina. I inherited it when my father passed away a few years ago. The case is marked 14K gold L&K and inside the back cover it's marked "Donavan". The movement is a 770 I believe with 22 jewels. It's quite a lovely watch and I do wear it from time to time.

The case back.

What a beautie. They don't make em like they used too..And I don't know of anyone giving away presentation watches like they used too either.

R D stands for Rockford Dale. I wanted desperately to name my son and my father's first namesake "Rockford" but my wife Marisa flatly refused. Our son is stuck with the name "Oliver" but I love him like a "Rockford" just the same!

Someday he'll wear this watch.

Hamilton Perry

This is a Hamilton Boulton that is in the mail on it's way to me.

Earnst C. Your watch band really enhances your Perry. Could you give me some information on the band please, especially, where I could acquire one like that.

Thanks

My Hamilton Boulton arrived today. A nice looking and running watch.
My wife said it looked like lady's watch, and that got me to thinking. I don't know much about these older wrist watches so I thought I would ask here. Is it a man's watch or a lady's watch?
If it is a lady's watch I guess Merilyn just got another Christmas present!

Ed - while I don't know for certain, I would say your Bolton is a man's watch. Although I have seen a trend of women wearing the older mens watches today. Perhaps it's because the dials are larger and easier to read. But I would say wear it yourself (unless Merilyn decides she wants it!)

Ed

It's on you to declare this a lady's watch

I think the watch would look great on your wife's wrist.

As Mary Ann said: more and more ladies use them and men using the old gent's watches have to answer questions (in the modern times of big and bulky wristwatches).
