Nice little restore I just finished

[Preston]

Hey Cats

Hamilton calibre 986A.

A precious metal scrapper I bump into from time to time on the thrift/pawn shop circuit I run through tossed this to me along with some movements. Too nice to not throw it in the parts pile. Needed is 6 position wire closed lug replaced so a bit of sterling rod and silver solder set that right, case, crystal polish, movement cleaning, oil and reg and she's good to go. Even on the vintage cuff it works, hopefully my Lady will like it

[Preston]

Well my Lady didn't like it, well she liked it but says it's not really her style so away it goes to the bay.

[Raza]

Shame. It's a good looking watch.

She could wear it to a rock concert! It oozes hip and cool vibes!

[skywatch]

The movement is so beautiful. A shame it couldn't find a home with you.

[Preston]

Thanx guys. I hear ya that it can't have a home with us considering what my research found out. This watch is somewhat historically significant being Hamilton's first Lady's watch and with it being so large for a watch of the 20's.

I'm sure it will be loved in its new home.

I bought my wife a cool vintage ladies Omega and when she does wear it she doesn't even bother to wind it up!

My friend wears a watch--always running, but never the right time. I've offered to fix the time for him many times. It bugs me.
