First post to this site, appreciate any info in advance...I have a Ladies Hamilton Bracelet watch with the following specs: Movement 2051922, Case 214962, 17 Jewel, with an additional number of 986 engraved on the movement. It also looks like it has a second hand sub dial located at the 6:00 position (the face is in pretty bad condition due to it's missing the crystal). Can send picture if necessary. | ||

Basic question now is would it be financially smart to have this watch restored? Assuming $150-$300 to complete this. What is its worth now and what would it be worth after restoration?From what I've found, it was made 1924 and it still runs.   | ||

Hi. It looks like a small pocket watch conversion to a wrist watch, is the case gold? | ||

From what I know, it's all original, no conversion. There's no indication of gold content, but there is noticeable wear along the edges of the case as can be seen in the pictures. Here's a picture of the original box and the inside of the case. It states Bracelet watch. I believe the movement number is mistaken for the serial number on the box. I think the movement is 986 and serial is 2051922, case is 214962.   | ||

Very cool to have the box like that proving that it's a very early wrist. It is gold filled when they say "guaranteed 25 yrs". I still don't think it's worth a ton of money though. |
