Eight Months ago I gave Mahlon a Hamilton 996 for parts only. The plates were corroded, the wheels, the screws. strickly a parts watch. Today he gave me this for my birtday. He removed all corrosion which takes off all the beautiful damaskeen work, so he by hand, reapplied all the intrigate damaskeen on the movement, COA's it .. have a look at a one of a kind Hamilton 996.   He also blued the screws to make the damaskeen work pop.   I put it in a glass back bar over crown case until I can find a Hamilton display case
