I have a Hamilton watch that was handed down to be by my great-grandfather. I have no idea of its age or model number and when I had the crystal replaced I had no idea that the serial numbers were inside on the movement. I have "popped" the back of the watch off to see if I could find it but unfortunealy the movement and the back appear to be one "peice". Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.   | ||

Your watch is the Hamilton "Jeffrey" model. I think these were made beginning around 1948 to 1952 or so.  There were two versions of the watch, the earlier had the 980 grade movement and the later (Jeffrey B) with the 752 movement. Since the dials and case tops are identical, you'd need a watchmaker to examine the movement to tell you which one you have. Nice looking watch! gatorcpa | ||

How would a bracelet like that be marked, do you know? | ||

Here is a seller's picture of the watch with the band as received:  The band is marked Kreisler only. I don't know if this one is original or not as it's a little different than the one pictured above, but the logo looks period correct. I still have the band, but gave the watch away to a friend with the correct name. That's all I know, gatorcpa |
