Hello,
ReplyDeleteDo you have information about the Chevy Chase? I'm not sure what years it was made.
The Chevy Chase is a ladies model from 1929 and into the 1930's. There are several variations... A, B, C, etc.
DeleteI believe I have a 1927 men's wrist watch but don't see it on this page

Deletei have a mens hamilton watch that was giving to me by my father a few weeks ago. ive been trying to find it online but with no success. pat number as follows on wristband 2.689.450 on back it says 10k rop bezel stainless steel back? thank you alan l vetree jr
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to send a photo to me through Etsy or by email. My email address is available when you click the link above my photo. If the case has an RGP (rolled gold plate) with a stainless steel back it's from 1954 or later - otherwise it's not an authentic model. Beyond that I would need to see a photo.
DeleteI have a 1925 Hamilton 992L, serial #2327042. I have read elsewhere that Hamilton pocket watches in the 1920's would give a 'golf course' name to a particular model pocket watch. I can not find any information at all on the internet about this, but am most curious and hopeful that you can help me with the name given this watch. Also, how much would you charge for cleaning-oiling this watch? Thank you, Larry
ReplyDelete1925 preceded most wrist watches other than the “Cushion” but later some wristwatches got resort names...Piping Rock, Coronado, etc. When you watch was produced you bought the movement and dial and the jeweler helped you pick out a case. You watch is simply a 992 but you can identify the dial name by looking in the catalogs online.
DeleteThank you very much. and your cost to clean & oil?
