This is my latest and greatest... It's an 18 size open face Hamilton from 1901. The 940 models -that's what this one is- were serious railroad workhorses. They're widely considered the watch that put Hamilton on the map as a producer of quality timepieces. Beyond all that...They're beautiful!

toolate2,
These are great watches. I wear one at least once a week. Mine is serial # 976446 dating around 1913 with a Montgomery dial. Keeps perfect time. I love them.
