Wind watch. Rectangular 10k "RGP" gold bezel with stainless back & white face/gold letters and hands. Small second hand above "6". Inside says "HAMILTON 686, seventeen jewels". I believe it dates to the 1960's, possibly late 1950's. I have no paperwork, box, etc. I could upload a picture if necessary to help ID it. If not known, does anyone know where I can seek help? | ||

I can't show the watch because it tells me that my uploaded photo is larger than 800x600, yet no matter what I do it still is too big. Any suggestions. Moderator can I email you the photo? Thanks! If so, email address? | ||

Either reduce the size of your picture with any photo editing software or upload the picture to a photo hosting site like photobucket.com and post a link to your picture here. A Hamilton watch with a 686 movement (which is Swiss-made) would probably date, as you guess, to the very late 1950s or 1960s. | ||

Jimh, thank you. I tried all the cropping my software would do--still too big! Will try posting a link to photobucket.com | ||

Jimh, Zaf, or anyone who knows Hamilton's. I posted a picture of my watch on photobucket.com, as Jimh suggested but this site won't accept the link to photobucket--it got rejected and won't post. Help!! Any ideas? I'd be happy to email it to anyone who wants me to. Thanks!!! | ||

Your watch is probably the Hamilton "Judson" model and dates to around 1964. Value is probably $75-$100 or so. | ||

Jim, Thanks much! That makes a lot of sense based upon when it was given to me and what someone offered me at wholesale. I appreciate your time and opinion! |
