I have one of these late model Hamilton Ventura "Men In Black" watches from 2002. About a year ago an old watchmaker friend wanted to examine it and was going to change the battery. Long story short, he passed away about 3 months ago and today the son let me in to try and find my watches (he also had a gruen curvex of mine) We found the Gruen OK and found the Hamilton in parts. We found the dial, hands and case and now I need a description (photo would be great) of the movement for the Hamilton so I know what I'm looking for. If it is the one that I think it is it is now missing the battery strap and screw as well as the 3 case screws. If I do happen to need these parts, are they available? Where would I find them? What battery would this use? Are there any markings on the inside back of the case? I have no idea why he disassembled this. His bench has pieces and parts everywhere so I need to know what I'm looking for. Please, any help will be greatly appreciated. You can email me privately as this is probably something not to many would be interested in.
