Celebrating 22 years of sales on E-Bay!! We sell pre-owned watches that may have some signs of wear.

We provide detailed pictures and try to point out any flaws we think are outside of regular use. Please look at all the pictures, ask any questions you may have prior to making an offer.

If you are used to returning items because you are very particular about condition, please bypass our listing. Offered here is vintage Hamilton cal. 992 railroad grade watch in a 10K gold filled 20 years, screw front and back case. For the people who do not know about the process, 2 plates of gold with a brass plate in between were put through a rolling mill together until the desired thickness was reached.

This process assured for a much thicker gold surface on the case. Many of these watches have lasted for 100 years or more with hardly any sign of brassing. This watch case is nice and does not show brassing. The movement appears to be in fair shape and running, however when setting time the hands move with some difficulty and it does not wind correctly, so a service is recommended. The Montgomery dial is double sunk and in very good condition, no hairlines. This watch dates to 1917 based on Hamilton Co. The glass crystal is in good condition with very minor scratches. As you see, included is also a black coated, metal protective case for this watch. Hunting: The stem is at the 3:00 position, and the movement is meant to be mounted in a case that has a covering over the face. "Sidewinders" are hunting movements in openface cases. 22.3, 38.0, 57.1.
