    Very nice to see this! Vintage Hamilton's are superb watches - highly underrated by some.

    Thanks. I was walking through a flee market in Beach Haven, NJ in 1993 and my girlfriend saw it and bought it for me. It was $10. It broke about a week later. Since then it has been overhauled twice. 30 years later and the watch and girlfriend (now wife) are still going. Wearing another Hamilton today Image Unavailable, Please Login I found this one at a house sale. It was a retirement watch.

    Thank you, You as well. Most of my watches are not that valuable monetarily, but almost all of them have sentimental value.

    Those are the ones that have value. Uninsurable and irreplaceable.

    Very nice. And the sentimental value is priceless!

    I have two vintage Hamilton's en route back to me from full servicing/overhauls. I'll post photos when I have them.

    I guess I’ll continue the vintage Hamilton theme. This one was my grandfather’s. Circa 1939/1940.
    My grandfather graduated from Villanova in 1933 with a finance degree. The only job he could get was part time at US Steel on the floor. In 1939 he moved into management and my grandmother bought him this watch. When I graduated from college he gave it to me. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    That’s awesome! Seiko divers have a “primitive coolness” to them. They’re not glitzy or complicated, they just work. Form follows function.

    Thanks. I get why most people don’t wear theirs, but the Ventura just screams retro fun.

    You guys have some amazing pieces that blow me away. I can’t come close.

    Wearing it today. For me, this is my “big dog”; it’s the most valuable watch I own. This is my 1675 circa 1960 (first year made) and the 3rd oldest serial number known to exist. I’m so grateful I bought it when it was “affordable”.
