TimFitz Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 These are my only two wrist watches. Because My old fingers don't work with little tiny parts like the used to. The one on the left is my wife's granddads a 1938 Hamilton " Dodson" 17jewel 974a The one on the right is a 1960 Hamilton "Bolton ll" 22jewel 770 model. I wear them sometimes and the keep really great time. If you would like I will open them up and post photos of the movements 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobm12 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Nice watches, Tim, I'm very partial to Hamilton! And luckily, they still make good watches even though under the Swatch umbrella. I'd love to see the insides but I'm not pushing for it since I realize that some watches, specially when they are working fine, are better left undisturbed....Your call though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parmenion31 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 They are fine watches Tim , and i agree with Bob , no serious reason to open them , leave them in their peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimFitz Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Here are the photos of the movements. It's really no problem. I had to strip & clean them put on new crystals, so I'm quite familiar with taking out the movements Edited October 16, 2016 by TimFitz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
