Hamilton Barrel shape circa 1929

Just wanted to share a photo of my WGF Hamilton Barrel shape. Just serviced by RGM and running strong. They even had a new Hamilton strap very similar to original. This was my Grandpa's watch given to him by his parents. I was surprised to find his name engraved inside case back.

Great watch, and what a wonderful way to remember him!

987?

What a beauty! And of course it's great that it has such a close family history, yet is such an interesting watch. My family all wore crappy watches, except the one my Mother received for her high school graduation: 14k white gold Hamilton in 1936.

Yep- mvt is a 987. I'll have to post a picture when I get around to taking one.

My Grandpa actually introduced me to fine watches. He had them all- Patek, Breguet, UN, IWC, GP, etc.
