I have my grandfathers' 1946(?) Hamilton "Wesley". This is not the same watch, but it's close enough that I can appreciate the craftsmanship. Nice video.
Very nice video...and so helpful for those of us just starting this hobby as well. Thank you for taking the time to make this. :) p.s. I'd love to see more detail of how you disassembled the balance/hairspring in order to oil the jewels....that step of a service is quite intimidating to a beginner like myself.
Thank you for the kind words ! the watch I had on that day was my vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille ca, 1965 with the 565 movement It's one of my favorite I restored it four or five years ago.
Facinating! I wish they would make a reasonably priced watch today that would run that accurately. But they don’t, except by chance. I wonder; how much money did the average watch maker earn in the nineteen-thirties?

@ that’s a lovely watch. I’ve been wanting to buy a same era Omega Constellation for so long. Keep it up
The constellation with a pie pan dial is on my wish list also.
Hamilton made watches for the Military too .
Yes they did

Thank you for your kind words, not sure how well they were paid.
