70's Geneve - worth restoring?
Hi AllIn general discussion I started a thread just showing some old fobwatches in terrible condition that my parents came across stuffed in the back of some drawers when clearing out my uncles old apartment .A nicer find was this old Geneve, given to him in 1974 for 20 years service as a supervisor at the Heinz Factory in Lancashire, England. My parents, knowing my fondness for all things horological, have passed it on to me, and I'm trying to figure out if it is worth getting refurbished versus it's value when done. My father took it to a jeweller before passing it on to me, and was told it was worth a bit as it was a solid gold model. However, I can't find any hallmarks or serial numbers so have no idea what carat it might be if it is solid gold rather than gold plated! I'm not too worried about it's authenticity - I can't see Heinz passing out fakes to employees! I would like to remove the rear case to see if there is any more useful information in there, but can't work out how

Bumper Crop!
I saw this one on the Swamp. My first thought was, "I wonder if it's one of those Bumper Automatics?" Before the 760/761 model automatics, back in the early 50s, Elgin made two models of 'bumper' automatics, the 607 and 618. They didn't make them for long, and soon started importing Swiss automatic movements, so most Elgin automatics you see weren't made here.There was nothing in the description about that, though. So I spent an hour or so, finding all the pics I could of them. It looked just like a couple of them, but of course that's no guarantee.I thought about asking the seller, but then I thought better of it. So I said, "What the heck?" and bid. And won!So, ever since I won the auction, I've been anxious to discover whether I had actually gotten one of the Bumpers. When I got home, there it was - in a box WAY larger than it needed! I took it out, and gently rotated it, and sure enough.. *thunk-unk-unk...* (the rotor bounces off the springs). I got it! An Elgin bumper

Can anyone identify this Hamilton
I can't open this one, and was wondering if anyone here new what model this is and around what age. Is it one of the swiss automatics? I havn't found much myself, thanks.

Another comp: 5396g Tiffany vs 5550p
How about this? Which one?

5270p
Got you. Hahaha but honestly. What are y'all hoping to see for the 5270 at Basel. Platinum is very unlikely. I would love to see and R or a J with a cream dial.
