Here's a recent one of mine...A Hamilton Ball 999B in the first run/year of production with the 2B prefix...only 700 made and I'll bet not many look this good!
Thanks for all the info! I guess all I'll be able to say is it was a first year 950B production. The watch is all original, bought from Fred Hansen, with a gold train in a Model A case. Not sure what you meant by a POLISHED gold train though..
I just found out what I needed to know from Gelson's list...they were essentially produced in numerical order and mine was from the first run of 1100...
I can't seem to find out the serial numbers of the first run of the 950B...My watch is #S388... can someone tell me if that was produced in the first run or where I might access that info?
I see on another online watch/clock forum database that 2575803 is also the earliest 23j listed...I just bought one with serial # 2575936 which has the diamond endstone...
Greetings! This is my first post in a few years and it's good to see many of the same knowledgeable and helpful folks are still here...my question is (if I attached the picture correctly) what movement was this dial used with?
I want to draw your attention to the third message in this thread, the one that shows pics of the 950Es in the mainliner cases...it looks to me like the dial is slightly tilted, if you will, to the left...that the "12" and the dark square above it are not lined up straight with the middle of the...
For a couple of days now every time I try to access any thread inside Fred Hansen's list of Hamilton threads I get a page a couple of years old saying this doesn't translate to the new board...what is that about?

Thanks guys and thanks Kent for the PDF from the magazine....but I don't see in there any figures as to how many #453 WIs were produced from the 9000 total...Shugart's price guide (we know the inaccuracies therein) must have based the price on something...anyone feel like making an educated...
I'm trying to find out production numbers on the 16S 23J Veritas wind indicator grade 453 serial # 22,554,078...the online Elgin database only gives the number of Grade 453 watches produced (9000) which lumps in the regular 23J Veritas with the wind indicators without saying how many were...
I bought this Westclox Dollar watch online the other day because it was produced exclusively for the NAWCC National Convention in 1975 as you can see by the watch dial in the pic...these were given out free to all members present for that event...this one is NOS without a mark on it and comes in...
