My granddad passed away a few weeks ago. Went to his house to clear things up. I found this watch that was given to my mom for her sweet sixteen b-day. Its 14K and is a Hamilton. But does not run correctly, When wound, it runs REAL fast. Like 1-hour for every 3-4 minutes. You can hear it chugging along. Is this watch worth the money to fix? Mom does not want it. Wife likes it though.

does it have the 14k mark on the caseback? If so, have it cleaned and regulated. Or you could have the sucker melted down and made into a nice ring for the wife:D I vote to melt it.

Yes it does. It also has it on the braclet clasp. I took the back off it to take a look. It has 14k on the inside and is machined swirled. Also the movement says Hamilton. Now that you mention it, I do have alot of gold pieces of broken jewlery in a small box. I guess I could have it melted into one big chunk of gold. Wear it around my neck like Mr.T, LOL.

That's a nice looking Hamilton Dave...Congrats! It must be a mechanical hand-wound....and running that fast it probably needs much more than an adjustmenthand6.gif Inside where the 14K is stamped should be another # maybe a serial# that will help in identifying the year it was made and possibly a model!cool10.gif

Yes it says=Hamilton W.CO. Then DS&S H (Looks like) 585 and a trademark, Then LANCASTER,PA. Then 14K, Then 858264, Under that-64452, Then finally -L&W. The movement has USA 761 AND 22 JEWELS. I tried to adjust the speed to the slowest setting, but it still runs Fast. Last edited on Thu Feb 8th, 2007 10:38 pm by daanbc |
