somewhere around 1965 to 1970 Hamilton womens watch
(classified by size and no second hand)
Original dial, crown, movement
swiss 17 jewel Hamilton 26 caliber (looks like ETA 2412)
as small as a penny! 20 microns gold plating, nice condition
came dirty and not running.
This was the first dial I tried to clean. I kinda messed it up (the coating and Hamilton logo) but I learned my lesson now.
keeps good time!
