Here's one of my finer vintage wristwatches. It is a 10K gold Hamilton ser# G445706 on a 980 17 jewel movement. The case # is K077875. These were and still are some of the finest mechincal watches made in the US. Was hoping someone has a Hamilton catalog and tell me the style of watch this is. Example: Allison, Brock, Phillip, ect. Thanks for looking

i feel this is more fitting here, where you ask for it!
Thanks for the link bfunk_1
yep. Some look alike, so make sure to compare every aspect of the dial with the watch you see pictured with the case design. Yes, a fantastic site I have identified many Hamiltons I have ! thank you and thanks to all who helped get that site up
I came across this one in a trash collection, brought it home and wound it, it worked, haven't done anything else, need to clean and restore it to it's former beauty.
wow! lucky find!
Thank you pops52 and bfunk_101, I'll post new photos after clean up and let you know when completed
