Corum Admirals Cup 753.692.55/0002 AG12 Brown Rubber Strap 44mm Watch

Hamilton Brandon
Hello my name is Tamra I recently acquired my grandfather's watch (a Hamilton Brandon). As I wanted to know more about the watch I started searching the net and after a while I found this forum and trolled the old catalogues till I found the watch. You all have created an excellent resource for Hamilton watches. To be honest I had not heard of Hamilton watches before. That could be because I could never afford them, but I do have a thing for mechanical watches. So when I came across my grandfather's watch amongst old keep sakes I had to do some talking to get my mother to let it go. I promised to bring it up to scratch. It didn't work so I took it to be fix, when I was informed that the parts for this watch are not easy to come by. It needed a balance and he managed to find one which he told me was the last ever so try not to brake it. So what I need now is a replacement crystal as the old one is scratched to bits. Does anyone know where I can order one that can be shipped to

Help identifying This Admiral
I'd appreciate your help in helping to evaluate this watch. It was my father's, and I believe he would have got it in the early 1960's, though it's possible he got it in the late 50's. It's obviosuly an Admiral, but there are no clearing markings on the back, other than the type of wrench needed to remove the bezel.I've looked on eBay and other sites, including this one, hoping that I could date the watch based on the face markings (even numbers only - odd numbers represented by non-numeric marks).I've looked on the bezel and band, expecting to see markings indicating the gold content, to no avail. Perhaps my eyes are too weak.Any help on pinpointing age/model number and guesstimates of value would be appreciated. The watch runs, though it loses a couple of minutes every week.Thanks in advance!TerryFront.jpg FrontNoFlash.jpg WatchBack.jpg

Newbie question...
OK. Don't laugh. My two recent purchases are my first ever automatics. The instructions for both mention how to wind them manually, but doesn't mention when you should stop. I've wound mine up (maybe about 10 turns?) and now have been regularly wearing one and keep the other in a winder. Neither have "stopped" yet from losing power.My question is, can the winding mechanism be damaged if manually wound "too much"? I never felt any tension when I wound mine.. But I was being pretty conservative and didn't wind it too much. Is it supposed to tense up as it approaches the limit? I also read somewhere that some watches have a "slipper" mechanism such that it can never be overwound? Comments/suggestions? For reference, I have the SubAqua Noma III GMT (2893 mov't) and the Swiss Legend Ambassador (CL888 mov't).Thanks!

Mechanical movements supplier?
Hi everyone,I'm looking for a supplier for mechanical watch movements in a specific size and shape :I need about 200 round movements 6 3/4 (15,3 mm).The backside appearance is very important because it will be visible.Does anyone have an idea where I could find a supplier for such product?Thanks and cheers.

Speedmaster Legend..
I spotted this on a friend and really like it, he actually offered to sell me it or trade me. How much is it worth, with all papers boxex and why can't I find any of it online. This was last night and I was very sleepy so it's one of the following just not sure which one. :) What I do remember is that the dial was a creamy ivory color not a white dial. More like the one below with the black sub dials.Any of the two special or rare? One worth more that the other?Om1.JPGOm2.jpg
