I just got this Hamilton 14k white gold case back from a full service cleaning and new period hands put on. I got it for $10.00 not running with only the hour hand on at a roadside antique store in the mountains. I'm now in to it around $150.00 with the service fee and NOS hands put on and a couple female spring bars. Its now running like a top. Saw one on eBay that went over $1300, with a full service and re-dial job, plus an original solid white gold Hamilton buckle offering a one year warranty. Also another Lanley that sold in the $800 range that was described as running and all original.

I like it when a solid gold case watch is only marked on the inside. I've found a couple ladies gold watches from the 20s & 30 that were marked only on the inside back. Those I scraped, because they weren't worth fixing.

Amazing! I would love a solid gold Hamilton from the 20s. Just be careful with the Radium!
