Very Nice Presentation watch. Packard Logo on the dial. Hamilton also produced these Packard watches with the same dial.

Nice watch. "Ask the man who owns one" was Packard's slogan, a foolish slogan if my single experience with Packards was at all representative. When I was in my early 30s, needing a somewhat roomier car to complement my Morgan roadster, I bought a Packard limousine. What a mistake! It stuck out my garage door by more than a meter. Its geriatric fuel pump, located in the gas tank, was too feeble to reliably send gas to the engine, causing many of the Packard's return trips to be made via flat bed truck. But the car was roomy and well equipped, having such amenities a roll-down window between the passenger compartment and the driver's seat, and a built in siren.

Great story Ethan about your Packard experience.

Testguy — I have my grandfather’s 10yr Packard presentation watch. Very nice gift for 10 years of service.

I'm going to print this information and keep it with the watch. Many thanks, Brian
