WOTD: 1955 Hamilton Donavan

Earlier this week I brought this out of hiding, serviced it, so decided to wear it today. I am looking for an original dial for it, so if you have one let me know. This is a 1955 Donavan with a 14k case, 22j 770 manual wind movement. Just one you don't see much of these days!

WOTD: 1960 Hamilton Electric Meteor

Figured I'd wear this one out and about today. It's been awhile. Meteor is clunking away with it's 500A movement keeping decent time. I know the black surround on the dial is most common, but I like it. It's more fun to wear them than just look at them in a case!

Chattanooga Cars and Coffee this morning

Nice turnout for cars and coffee. 911s were well represented.

Looking for a complete, running 500 movement.

While going through what I thought was just watch junk, I came across this Pacer. I don't have all the 500 parts needed to bring this back so looking for a complete 500 movement that is running. Not looking to spend 400-500 dollars that the known online electric repair places charge. Let me know if you have one!

Finally got my other 2 Altairs going

A couple of days ago I finally got my other 2 Altairs running. It's been years since all 3 of them have been running and keeping decent time. I think I'll wear one today!

WOTD: 1960 Accutron 521

You don't see many of the original 521s in the wild anymore. I've had this for several years. Runs great after a fresh service. Always better to wear them than just stare at them in a case!

WOTD: 1960 Hamilton Flight II

Today it's the Hamilton Flight II. The 22j 770 movement was just serviced, keeping great time. Haven't had this one out in a while. They are always more fun to wear than just look at in a case!

Rear wiper gang check-in

Don't see many with the rear wiper, but was a must for me!

WOTD: Hamilton Electric Pacer

This one is clunking away with it's 500A movement, keeping decent time. I know Pacers have the highest production numbers of any electric, but I still like them. Much better to wear than just look at them in a case!

Picked these up last night, really good!

I hadn't seen these before in Whole Foods so picked them up. They have a great creamy dill flavor to them. Highly recommended!

WOTD: 1961 Hamilton Electric Vega

I haven't had this one out in a while. 1961 Hamilton Electric Vega with the 505 movement. It keeps great time. I'm sure I'll probably be the only one out and about with this one. They are always more fun to wear than just look at in a case!

Picked up the new Doritos Ultimate Garlic Parm...

So I picked up a bag of these at Sam's since it was only 3.98 a bag. I was expecting the seasoning to be like 50/50 garlic to parm. Instead, there's no garlic flavor at all. Just a heavy parm flavor. I'll finish the bag, but probably won't get them again.

214 Accutron repair around Atlanta?

I've had these for years and neither will run anymore. Google search didn't help. Anybody know of anyone around the Atlanta area that will service a 214 Accutron? No I'm not selling them, just want to wear them again.

After about 10 years or so, I finally got this one running again. Considered a grail among the electrics, only 1600 made. Due to their flimsy lugs a lot of them arrived at the jewelry store already broken. Very rare today. This one has non-repaired lugs and its original bracelet. The Hamilton 505 movement keeps decent time. Always more fun to wear them than just look at them!

This watch features a freshly serviced 22j 770 movement. One of the smaller asymmetrical men's watches Hamilton made. Always more fun to wear them than just look at them in a case!
