My Hamilton Milton 982
My friend, who died in 1979 at age 86, had a Hamilton Milton 982 watch. He wore it all the time-including while he was gardening. He passed away while wearing it.His neice gave the watch, case, and box to me soon after he died. All are in excellent condition. I have the guarantee as well as the "packed by.." paper.Was wondering about what year would he have purchased it? How much (although not interested in selling) is it worth?Serial # of watch: J-545951Serial # of case: J177598Thanks for your help and interest.Donald Shelton

How to start looking?
Hi all! First post here. I just started collecting watches last year and I'm planning on getting a vintage DJ as my first Rolex (1601, 16013 etc).Question is, I have no idea how to start looking, or how to discern between good and bad sellers, or what the reasonable prices are, among other things.Would you guys have any advice for a newbie like me?Thanks!Quick edit: if this is better off being posted in the Vintage discussion, let me know and I'll gladly post there!
