Restored pocket watch Hamilton 669.

Post by buddhabar »

Here I am posting the recently completed restoration and recovery work of this wonderful Hamilton.
I must first of all thank the dear @Yoda and @Hako who with so much generosity and strong friendship have provided me with parts to be able to complete the restoration.
I used the hands, the beautiful dial and even the plexy ... which I was missing. Initially I bought the watch with a very damaged dial and missing some hands and glass. I was thinking of using movement for a project and instead I preferred to give life back to how it was originally.
Thanks for your comments.
Here are the photos:

As good as it gets! Thank you for mentioning us, it looks pristine!
It was a pay forward thing, the way H-F works.

Now you need a chain and a vest!

M ... You're right .... it won't be difficult to find the chain. The vest with the pocket is ready. I am only missing the two movement locking screws which I hope to find differently. ;)

I have a Hamilton 669 here, and tons of American and European screws, I can take a look to see if I have something suitable. I can look tonight.

Thanks guys ... really appreciated your messages. :thumbup:
If I have been able to have good results, I repeat I owe (I remain in debt) to the dear friends mentioned above.
@Yoda ... if you can find a couple of screws ... it would be like completing a nice cake with cherries.
