Q
I have a Hamilton 940 21 Jeweled. It belonged to a guy who's granpa worked on the B+O RR. The case is all worn, lots of brassing. The original dial was replaced in 1920's with a metal dial, the old watch fob is all dirty from years of use. I bought it a month ago for 60 bucks. I been using it daily ... I set it to my cell phone and no kidding it has not lost anything, right on .. man these Hamilton's were something special. This 940 was made in 1905. I am sure it has not been serviced in forever but boy does is run. This 992 is amazing ... it is absolutely mint. I doubt it was carried much at all. I probably won't carry it except for some very special occasions. I would cry it I damaged this 992b
