1949 Hamilton
As it is my 65th in a couple of months i thought it was about time i got a watch from the year of my birth so just got my hands on this 1949 Hamilton Norton.1949Hammy.JPG1949_Nordon.jpg

But if I did buy a Day-Date I would keep my other two watches.I eventually realized that I could buy a Patek Philippe for the money I was about to spend on a Rolex.
