Happy Birthday, Hamilton Forum!
Of course, I know it's silly to wish a forum a "happy birthday." But we are ONE MONTH OLD today. As the self appointed HISTORIAN of this forum (I just gave myself a raise too), I would like to point out a few statistics:Over 1700 posts in one monthOver 221 threads in one monthDropping Rene' Rondeau's name here 352 times (he is the official Hamilton historian and expert and we love the fact that he visits and chats with us so often)8 new Hamiltons bought by members of this forum (at Invicta, we would have 8 in an hour)4,521 bad puns by foghorn, mgiraz, eddiea, grady, muttley, MacDaddy and yours trulySo, on behalf of all who have come by, I can honestly say that this past month of starting a new forum with all of you has been PRICELESS! Thanks and let's keep up the fun.And do you know who we have to really thank for all of this? (Please scroll down)

Watch History-JLC
Here is a brief timetable on JLC. If anyone has, please add some pics of JLC watches and other historical info:Founding date 1833HeadquartersVall¨¦e de Joux, SwitzerlandThe history of Jaeger-LeCoultreFounded in 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been acknowledged since the 19th century as the “Grande Maison” of the Vall¨¦e de Joux. With over 200 patents and more than 1,000 different calibres developed and crafted under one roof, several icon models such as the Reveros, the Duoplan or the Atmos, it is one of the most important and most innovative players in watchmaking history.1833 A pioneer in the field of precision and a brilliant inventor, Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) founded his workshop in the Vall¨¦e de Joux, the paradise of Grandes Complications.1844 Invention of the world’s most accurate instrument: the Millionometer makes it possible to measure the micron.1847 Invention of the keyless winding mechanism: the first reliable system eliminating the need for keys either to

Antique swiss "Boulevard" ladies watch. Family Heirloom, info welcome!
Dug this out of an old folder labeled "Tax Deductions 69-71". I think it's from the 30's, it's some sort of gold plate or fill (judging from all the green stuff on it), the envelope was labeled "Grandma Pannalla's watch".A bit of backstory if you wish:My grandparents were depression-era people. They kept everything and would hide things of value to them. Even after Grandpa died we kept finding things hidden in folders, cloths, under furniture and all sorts of places. (Most notable was the Hamilton Nautilus 450 I have, it was the first truly vintage watch I got and it's what got me on this board and into vintage watches)Anyway, we still have boxes of records and things we pulled from their house. A few days ago we were cleaning them out (and checking them) and we came across this watch.Any sort of into on it would be appreciated.

Hypothetically..
That¡¯s it, you¡¯re done. You¡¯ve gotta sell off the collection and consolidate down to one watch. Any watch will do, doesn¡¯t have to be Rolex; but this is it, you have to wear this watch for the rest of your life. What do you fellow watch fanatics land on?I land on my GMT. I love the multi time zone function, the depth rating, the comfort and styling. Ticks a lot of boxes for me. It was close though, I really love subs/seadwellers and I wouldn¡¯t be particularly disappointed with a 116600, or a 116613.D0425015-712E-43D5-A321-9A25167E18F2.jpeg
