Just got this. 1959 Hamilton "Thor".
Very nice as well as having Hamilton's 770 cal. 22 jewel movement. The best movement Hamilton ever produced, which to me is saying quite a bit.
Paid about $185.00

Just one thing. Vintage is being hyped to a degree already leading to practicalky every major brand to search their catalogs for more or less iconic models that they are then launching as re-issues or at least use as reference. 2 or 3 years again, that trend may be over. I wonder what that is then going to mean for parts of the overheated vintage market.
Ardnut since 1989

In twenty years or so, the German language will be one, massively long compound word.

That's a nice catch!
