Pocket Watch Case

THANK YOU for considering our clean and wear-free, strong running and dead accurate Hamilton Grade 950B lever set watch. Here’s the low-down. S-24831, circa 1960, 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 with pressed ruby jewels, all-gold balance screws, center bridge nickel plate, fully capped escapement jewels, stem wind, lever set movement. This dependable late-model 950B – the zenith of Hamilton’s high-grade cumulative watch-making expertise – 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 a single flick of the wrist (like 992Bs), and lever sets as designed. The watch holds time well within 30 seconds per week face-up after year-over-year of careful hand regulating. As for appearance this highly 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 thick modern regulator needle and whip, super clean looking inside, and reeling and rocking holding railroad time! Dial : Dead bang mint condition Hamilton “Blindman Monty” style Railway Special model, 16 size, open face, double sunk melamine, ultra bold black Arabic numerals with surrounding Montgomery Patented red five-minute-markers and black minute-markers, 3-post, fancy dress or railroad dial! This dial is in phenomenally perfect condition for melamine, with absolutely no trace of any buckling, lining, chips, cracks, chaffing, stains or scratches! Hands : Near mint condition original finish (not doctored-up aftermarket) RR-bold blue matching spade hour and pointer minute style. These hands are in superlative condition, with darn near 100% of the original factory blue finish intact – super fine hands and correct for this model! Case : Superb condition Hamilton Case Model #A, the correct case for the 950B. It features the smooth back framed by the beaded Deco-era concentric circles, the thick, sturdy neck, large and wind-able crown, and the railroader’s preferred sturdy arching bow!! This correct 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 (back is a bit stiff but not bad), and both seat tight. The correct and matching crown’s fluting is super deep and crisp for a tight, sure grip, and it turns freely but has a little nick and bend in it. The bow is likewise its correct matching beaded and arching original, shows zippo brass or damage, and holds super tight in all positions. The crystal is a thick brand-new beveled mineral glass model that looks just as new as it is. The case shows astoundingly minimal wear, including nothing other than the most superficial and unavoidable exterior scratching, zero marrings, zero doodlings, zero brass anywhere detectable, and certifiably no sign of any dents, dings, dimples or depressions just a little bit of wear on the crown! I’ve owned this fine 950B for many enjoyable years and it has always run accurately and dependably!! Hate to see it go, but my loss can be your gain!!

THANK YOU for considering our sparkling clean and great running Waltham “Vanguard” 16 size 23 jewel Wind Indicator watch. Here are the details. 25,344,504, circa 1926, 16 size, open face, 23 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 6 positions, Model 1908, Grade Vanguard, large raised gold jewel settings, gold center wheel, huge all-gold balance screws, Lossier hairspring, ¾ nickel plate, stem wind, lever set railroad-grade movement. This fine antique watch 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 movement is a smooth wind, starts right up on my 8th wind with no coaxing, and lever sets as designed. The movement holds excellent time but has not been further regulated or adjusted! Appearance-wise this movement is looking great, with 100% tarnish-free and clean winding wheels, equally bright and clean faux bridge nickel plates with all of the attractive gold engraving paint intact, correct and spotless screw micrometer regulator whip and index, super pristine looking inside, and running strong and steady!!
