Re: WTT: Vintage Hamilton Chrono Ref. 647001-3 (Valjoux 7733
In Response To: (Message Deleted by Poster) ()

Hello! Are you willing to sell the watch out right?

: Hi,

: i'm new to this forum, although a regular reader. I have some
: references on uhrforum.de and atg vintage watches forum (same
: username). I also bought a watch from Saturnin, so regulars may
: ask him about me...

: I'd like to trade my Hamilton Ref. 647001-3 Valjoux 7733 chrono. It
: just does not get enough wrist time, since it now feels a bit
: too small for me. I bought it NOS in 2005 and did wear it some
: time. Very good condition, i think, although minor signs of
: wear, mainly on the backside, some small scratches in the glass,
: also on the lugs. However, edges are sharp, brushed case parts
: (even between the lugs) are still very good. Nice grey sunburst
: dial in perfect condition, hands also very good with a small
: aging of lume in the hands, but this can be seen often with this
: model. The white subdials are quite big compared to the size of
: the watch. The bezel is also in good state, note that it is a
: bit bigger than the case itself at 3 and 9 o`clock. Signed
: crown, bridge and inner backplate. Measures approx. 38 mm w/o
: crown and 43 mm from lug to lug. Keeps good time, chronograph
: works as expected and resets to zero.

: Here are some pictures:

: Please note this strange brown dot at the minute recorder is not
: there, i think it's the wood refracting in the glass.

: And here are pictures from the movement and the inner back plate:

: The shots of the movement and the backplate where made by my
: watchmaker, thus the different style. My watchmaker just cleaned
: the case, because there was some dirt below the bezel, and also
: the dirt around the pushers is gone now. However, there was no
: service made.

: I'd like to trade (head only) for a vintage automatic chronograph
: with either Lemania 134x, Lemania 5100 or Heuer/Breitling/Buren
: cal. 11/12/15, with reasonable additional payment from my side.
: 'Secondary' watch brands like Tissot, Dugena or Zodiac prefered
: over Omega, Heuer & Co. Watches i really would like are the
: Tissot Navigator 'Yachting' or at best the Dugena 3207 housed in
: the Autavia 2446c case with black dial and white subdials...

: The watch is in Germany, i prefer a trade in the EU.

: Thanks for looking!
