Hamilton 6B-9101000 NEW ARRIVAL !!!!

[WORKSIMON]

I got it !

After a second look and after all the fantastic information I received from the other thread, I decided to make an offer and it was accepted. I managed to remove the caseback which was incredibly tight and used my air blower to give it a puff over, the balance wheel moves freely, but it will not tick at all, hands move freely and crown appears to wind. I will get it away for a service but it will have to wait until I can save some pennies as my account is well and truly in overdraft !!!!!!
















Have not even cleaned it but I really had to get it on a really nasty nato

If you are interested in miscellanea around these watches, and haven't already seen them, you might be interested in:

1. An article written by Kenneth Gordon for the Horological Journal on the DEF-3 standard for a general service watch which yielded the Omega 53, Smiths W10 and Hamilton 6B amongst others.

2. A Hamilton advertisement for a version available to the public marketed on the back of the RAF supply.

Congrats, that is a cool old watch. Based on "it will not tick at all" and having been a victim of it several times over the years I am guessing it has a broken mainspring, a service will fix it up.

Looks super, well done :)

A lovely looking watch.

Let us know how you get on after it is serviced.

Thanks gents for all the comments and information. I’ll hopefully get it sent away next month when some pennies reach my bank account ;-))) Have to say its a perfect size and looks brilliant on the wrist with a nato :-)))
