Pocket Watch Case

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!!

THANK YOU for considering our high grade late model Hamilton 950B 16 size 23 jewel 6 positions railroad-grade watch. Here are the details. S19393, circa 1953, 16 size, open face, 23 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 6 positions, Model 6, Grade 950B, raised and cupped gold jewel settings, full gold train, all gold balance screws, bridge nickel plate, stem wind, lever set railroad-grade movement. By 1953 America had its RR watch building thing down pat, and here’s one of its finest examples!! This fine and highly collectible antique watch is in superlative working order, with a dead flat and true balance wheel motion that has a fine, wide arc and a strong, steady beat. The movement is a smooth wind, starts right up with a single flick of the wrist, and lever sets as designed. The movement holds excellent time but has not been further regulated or adjusted. Appearance-wise this movement is looking terrific, with absolutely 100% spotless correct winding wheels, brilliantly bright and clean bridge nickel plates with all of the handsome Bronze engraving paint intact, spotless correct modern regulator needle and whip, super clean looking down inside, and ripping and running strong and true! Dial : Model 537 “Blindman Monty” style “Railway Special” double sunk enamel. This dial is in near mint condition. It is clean and mint all the way around except for one tiny little repaired edge chip at “26″ minutes. That’s totally it for damage that I can see with the loupe! Hands : Original finish (not doctored up aftermarket) RR-bold blue matching spade hour and pointer minute hands. These hands are in near mint condition, with 99.8% of their original finish still intact and totally correct for the 1950s 950B! Case :Signed original Hamilton Case Model #A apparently original to this movement. It’s a Keystone 10K smooth yellow gold fill, slot right, screw-back-and-bezel railroad case with the fancy beaded bezel and back! This 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, matching original crown’s fluting is still deep and crisp for a tight, sure grip, and it turns freely but does not extract, so only a lever-set movement will work inside. The bow is correct and matching, shows zero brass or damage, and swings loose. The crystal is a near brand-new thick beveled mineral glass model and clear as a bell. The case does show exceedingly minimal wear, including light, superficial scratching on an otherwise mirror-image back, zero marrings or doodlings, zero brass anywhere detectable, and absolutely positively no sign of any dents, dings, dimples or depressions!! I’ve owned this fine timepiece for 20-odd years and it has always run accurately and never failed to please and delight!!
