First of these (Bulova Rose Gold) was my Grandfather's which he only wore on Sundays to church. The Hamilton, second one, belonged to my Great uncle and has a very nice center teared crystal. I asked to get it after he passed away 10 years ago. The third one is a Kingston that I found at a flea market some 20 years ago, it and the Bulova still run like new. wrightarchitecture inspired me to show them. He has some real rare beauties!
