mingus2112 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 I can't keep away from vintage gens! My latest is a 1950s Hamilton Rodney. It's so damn cool! I'm sure it's a bit small for you guys, but I've been getting used to smaller watches since i've gotten a handful of vintages. Specs: Hamilton Rodney 1953-1964 10K yellow gold filled case 18-jewel 748 movement 34mm case diameter 46mm over the lugs 16mm strap width Comments? Wisecracks? -James
alligoat Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Interesting watch! Certainly very 50's, 60's with the smaller size, the alpha-like hands and manual wind movement. I like the 10K gold- it's interesting how they did more gold plating back then and certainly 10K is less expensive than 14 or 18. But it still looks good. I couldn't wear that watch everyday, but it would be fun from time to time like when you're dressing up.
seafoam Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Very nice. I am on a vintage kick myself. I have a newer Hamilton and i love it. Standard ETA movement.
slickdick Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Nice watch! Small watches are slick. Especially if one has a big [censored] which doesn't need compensation
ChipSlap Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 That's exactly the watch I wished I had last night when I went to a wedding. Love the Hammies.
