Did Hamilton make such a watch?
Greetings, all, I've been lurking on this forum for some days, and thought it was high time to join. I'm a fairly new watchmaker, (WOSTEP and CW21 certifications) and my education mostly revolved around high-end Swiss watches. However, as a self-confessed history nut, and an American, I find the allure of vintage American timepieces to be irresistible. I've received the impression that among the American companies of yesteryear, Hamilton was the highest quality, and that of their wristwatch movements, the 770 and 982M were the best. I'm looking for a wristwatch to wear for dress occasions, and, not being able to afford the Patek Philippe or Jaeger that my watchmaking friends salivate over, it strikes me that a vintage Hamilton would be ideal. ;) So, to my question: did Hamilton make a solid gold round watch with either the 770 or 982M movements?

First Hammy
Hi,Does anyone recognize this model? It is about 15 years old and I bought it for $117. Thanks.

would anyone happen to know the cost of an SS bracelet from an AD
I keep meaning to stop by my AD to inquire about the SS bracelet that comes on some models of the air race. i got the model with the black rubber. i like the black rubber and wear it almost every day but i would like to get the SS bracelet as well as i don't always like the look of the rubber, particularly with a button up shirt of any kind. does anyone happen to know the cost off hand? my AD is in the local mall and apparently the recession hasn't hit there yet as it's always packed to a ridiculous level.

Box and Papers?
Recently purchased first Panerai and trying to verify what documentation I may be missing. I don't plan on selling/flipping the watch, but if there is any supporting documentation I can obtain to offset any missing documents, I would like to work on it.What I have:-Outer black box which has sticker with bar code, PAM #, and same number that is on the watch (limited edition).-Wood box, looks like the standard Panerai light brown box-Booklet which provides history on Panerai, info on case, movement, care etc.-Another booklet which has International Guarantee and Limited Warranty. Watch was made in 2002, so warranty doesn't apply.-Card which includes original owner, individual watch number, purchase date, and authorized dealer.I brought watch to CD Peacock, which has one of few Panerai watchmakers in the Midwest. Couple issues in the gears, which can be fixed with a cleaning. Once done, watch will have a 2 year warranty. Watchmaker is familiar with Panerai, does the work in-house, and val
