Hi-grade Dead Accurate Late Model Hamilton 950b 16s 23j 6p Boc Hamilton Case Rr
Posted by in hi-grade
THANK YOU for considering our high-grade, dead accurate late-model Hamilton Grade 950B lever set watch running strong and holding railroad time. Here’s the low-down. S-29089, circa 1963, late-model Grade 950B, 16 size, open face, 23 jewels, Model Six, Grade 950B, adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and 6 positions, double roller, cupped gold jewel settings, all-gold balance screws, center bridge nickel plate, stem wind, lever set movement. This dependable late-model 950B – the culmination of Hamilton’s high-grade watch making expertise from 1963 – is in excellent working order, with a dead flat and true balance wheel motion that has a fine, wide arc and strong, steady beat. The watch is a smooth wind, starts right up with no hassling, and lever sets as designed. The watch holds time well within 30 seconds per week face-up after years of careful hand regulating. As for appearance this collectible 950B movement is looking spot-on, with nice, bright and clean, absolutely 100% tarnish-free winding wheels, shiny bright and clean bridge nickel plates with all of the fine golden engraving paint still intact, spotless correct regulator needle and whip, super clean looking inside, and reeling and rocking holding railroad time!! Dial : Correct for a 1963 950B double sunk melamine, black-on-gray Deco Arabic colored Hamilton 23 Jewels Railway Special model. This dial is remarkably excellent for a melamine model. It has no sign of any cracking or buckling; just some faint spots that can be easily removed with a gentle solvent and a bit of elbow grease. That’s totally it for wear that I can see with a loupe!!! Hands : Near mint condition original finish (not doctored-up aftermarket) black new-old-stock (NOS) spade hour and pointer minute hands. These hands are correct for the latest model Hamiltons, in almost perfect shape, with darn near 100% of the original factory black lacquer finish intact – super fine hands and correct for this model! Case : superlative condition Hamilton Case Model #17, Star model 10K yellow gold fill, bar-over-crown and the correct case for the last 950Bs. It features the smooth back framed by the interlocking loop edge pattern, the thick, sturdy neck, large and wind-able crown, the classic Hamilton bar-over feature and the railroader’s preferred sturdy peak-shaped bow!! This classic and traditional Hamilton case is in fully serviceable condition. I have restored and detailed this case right down to the threads so you get the best looking and working case possible! The back and bezel thread up easily, screw on and off smoothly, and both seat tight. The correct and matching signed original Hamilton Railroad crown’s fluting is practically like-new for a tight, sure grip, and it turns freely. The bow is likewise its correct matching original, shows zero brass or damage damage, and swings loose. The crystal is a brand-new, newly-installed thick beveled mineral glass model and in perfect condition. The case does show minimal wear, including nothing other than the most superficial and unavoidable exterior scratching and three short more noticeable ones, zero marrings, zero doodlings, zero brass anywhere detectable, and just a couple of light dings on the back! I’ve owned this fine 950B for many enjoyable years and it has always run accurately and never failed to please and delight when carried or timed!!
