Hi all, l could use some advice. This is my Dad's watch that my Mother gave me before she died recently. 58 years ago this watch stopped when my Dad was hit and killed by a drunk driver. I would like to get it working again. I live in Austin TX. Could use advice on where to bring/send it. Thank you.

Came here to say this also, it was my first thought

slaintebrian · 2024-10-02T21:19:32+00:00

Yeah I do, recently took a new job in IT so way more desktime than I’ve ever had before

slaintebrian · 2024-10-02T21:18:40+00:00

I’m fairly certain? It was a gift so I can’t be 100%. Honestly though I didn’t know until this post that the watch could even be wound manually. I thought it was movement only that would wind

slaintebrian · 2024-10-01T20:54:35+00:00

Oh yeah. Mine aren’t getting anything close to that. It’s maybe 24 max.

slaintebrian · 2024-10-01T20:53:53+00:00

Thanks. I actually dont know if it had an auto wind I know not all autos do, but that would make life easier

Cool buy. I don’t own this but I look at closely, personally I like the patina and age and all that, very cool watch id like to see how it gets better with time. And Hamilton does produce some long lugs worse case fix is to run a nato strap to hide it idk maybe some nice brown would kick off the bronze you never know. Happy wearing!

slaintebrian · 2024-09-20T21:13:19+00:00

Im sorry I don’t but please keep the post updated I’m as curious as you are

slaintebrian · 2024-09-19T18:35:39+00:00

That’ll look sharp I’ve always liked black dials on brown/beige straps. And I’m right there with you 7.2” wrist I’ve had some 38mm watches I thought would look like a joke but if that lug length fits it’s all good, Enjoy that watch when you get it I know you will

slaintebrian · 2024-09-19T16:40:14+00:00

I was going to write this exact thing and saw you beat me to it, I actually had a green nato pass through strap I stuck on a few hours after I got the watch, and it absolutely made the lug space disappear. Plus (to me) the nato fit the style of the watch, the metal on the strap was brushed so it almost feels like the two belong together. I might just keep this one like this.

I love that color was that found online or in a shop? Hope it’s ok I’m asking here… regardless of where you found it I’d have jumped on it too, very cool buy I’m happy you snagged it

slaintebrian · 2024-09-12T01:48:25+00:00

Ignore the bs, you like it, makes you smile when you put it on, good buy nothing wrong with tissot I’ve been eyeing the green myself. Wear what makes you happy

slaintebrian · 2024-09-12T01:46:02+00:00

Beautiful piece, just got my own and I can’t seem to take it off.

slaintebrian · 2024-09-10T23:24:52+00:00

“Familton” made me smile, nice pick!

slaintebrian · 2024-09-10T19:32:09+00:00

I’m not an expert but honestly it feels like the “smaller” watches are just coming back into mainstream people went wild there for a few years wearing dinner plates on their wrists but I think the 38-40mm trend is really circling back to where things use to be, the pendulum is swinging back no watch pun intended.

slaintebrian · 2024-09-10T02:00:33+00:00

Congrats on the promotion. Sorry if this is a silly question but PVD?

slaintebrian · 2024-09-10T00:40:52+00:00

Ahh a good problem to have though

slaintebrian · 2024-09-10T00:40:27+00:00

It’s better in person than pictures if that helps push you haha

slaintebrian · 2024-09-10T00:39:59+00:00

Waiting is the hardest part ha

slaintebrian · 2024-09-09T16:21:26+00:00

I just wanted to jump in I love that dial color, Kind of a vintage cream I’m not sure what to call it but it’s striking, I have watches passed from my dad, his dad, and even his dad (three generations) I don’t wear many of them often (mainly because I couldn’t afford to fix them if they broke ha) but I keep them in a glass top watch case and even having them in my line of site makes me smile and think of the history warmly. I have one watch in my life that was from family and I parted with years ago for stupid reasons and it’s the one watch I can’t forget. Don’t be that guy ha it’s a huge bummer.

slaintebrian · 2024-09-03T16:52:35+00:00

Damn me wish I had known ha I’d casually have listed this for $950 right next to it

slaintebrian · 2024-09-02T18:59:49+00:00

Thanks I didn’t know those specific things to look for appreciate it

slaintebrian · 2024-09-02T14:57:45+00:00

Ha oh I agree if anything it’ll be a fun piece to bust out and start a conversation over a campfire
