    Description

    Out of my collection is this absolutely beautiful and extremely rare example of an original circa 1930 vintage Hamilton “Glenn Curtiss” 14k solid white gold men’s wristwatch.  The case measures
    27mm wide (excluding the crown) and 38mm from lug-tip to lug-tip and is considered large for the era.  The inscription on the back is from an Eastern Star masonic organization.  Production is listed as only 513 examples in white gold, making it a very difficult model to find.  It retailed for 0 during the height of the depression, and was the top-of-the line that was offered
    .  This watch has a beautiful highly-finished caliber 979-F movement that dates to 1932.  I do not know when it was last serviced but it is running well, keeping time to less than three minutes a day.  I believe the dial is original, but may be a well-done refinish.  Please study the photographs carefully.  I would be happy to answer any questions or provide additional photographs.
    This watch will be listed for sale elsewhere, and I will reserve the right to end the auction early if there are no bids.
    I will be selling some more really great vintage Hamilton watches and other fine timepieces, so please bookmark my page, keep coming back, or ask me if there's anything in particular you're looking for.  Kind regards and good luck!
