FOR SALE IS AN INTENSELY FRESH AND WELL PRESERVED 1980 HAMILTON GENT'S 17J HANDWINDER
- CASE: HANDSOME C-SHAPE GOLD PLAQUE CASE IN PRACTICALLY MINT CONDITION MEASURING AN UNUSUALLY LARGE 37.6mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 42.8mm LUG TO LUG. LOOK AT THOSE GORGEOUS RAZOR SHARP EDGES AND THAT MASTERFUL FACTORY BRUSHED FINISH THROUGHOUT. FOR THE TIME, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED A VERY LARGE WATCH WHICH WEARS EVEN LARGER DUE TO THAT WIDE DIAL AND THIN BEZEL. THERE ARE A FEW EXTREMELY MINOR DINGS ON THE CROWN SIDE WHICH LOOK MORE PRONOUNCED IN THE PICS THAN THEY ARE IN REAL LIFE. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE PERSONALISATION ON THE CASE BACK FOR GOOD OL' ARTHUR MAYLAN FOR PUTTING IN HIS 25 YEARS AT BIRDSBORO CORP.....KUDOS TO YOU SIR!!!
- DIAL: SO MUCH SIMPLISTIC CLASS IN THIS SUNBURST SILVER FACE. EXTREMELY CLEAN AND CRISP APPLIED STEEL/BLACK MARKERS WHICH MATCH NICELY WITH THOSE GOLD/BLACK SANDWICH STYLE STICK HANDS. THE POP OF RED WITH THAT SWEEP SECONDS IS A NICE PLAYFUL TOUCH.
- MOVEMENT: THIS GUY RUNS ON A 17J ETA 2750 WHICH LOOKS NICE AND CLEAN AND IS RUNNING NICE. WATCH WINDS UP BUTTER SMOOTH AND TIME KEEPING IS GOOD. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN RUNING LIKE A TOP OBSERVED OVER DAYS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
- THIS CLASSIC HAMMY COMES ON A COMFY HAND MADE FLAT STITCHLESS LEATHER STRAP WHICH LOOKS TOTALLY BOSS. I'LL BE BLUNT....THIS VINTAGE WATCH IS ONE SEXY BITCH. LET THE PICTURES DO THE TALKING.
