Day window

On some watches with this movement the day/date were at the 9 and 3 position.

Also happens on the 6119-5000 models.

The Date window is on the left and the date is on the right .

Hamilton Electric ...Saturn Model with the 505 movement . This model has a beautiful sunburst design radiating from the bottom 6 position and spreading out as it climbs to the top of the dial . 

The photo of the movement is from Electric Watches UK....[ and in a Ventura or Pacer case ]

Well that is a relief to hear! 

This beauty is a mechanical real piece of work, Louis Moinet Geograph with an inhouse LM53 movement. Its really a lovely all around dual time watch but picture doesnt let the real detailed precision work show. My favorite part of the watch is the seconds hand which is the little sun next to the date wheel. Although the watch has a little bit of size on it its just a lovely piece to wear!

Grand Seiko 9S65 - 00D0 I picked up Last year .  It hasn't received much wrist time I will confess .......

Man , that one IS a beauty . 

[ricardopalamino]

I'm very pleased to share  that I  finally acquired 2 watches that have been in my radar for a while . 

The first I received today  . It is a vintage Hamilton Flight II hand wind . One of Hamilton's and Designer , Richard Arbib's many beautiful asymmetrical designs in both Electric and Mechanical movements .

 

The watch:

 

 

 

About 2 weeks ago I was able to get a very nice Breitling Chronomat automatic with a 7750 Valjoux movement .

I truly have enjoyed wearing this watch everyday since I've had it ,...although I did remove it to give the Hamilton a spin around the block .

@ricardopalamino - very nice Hamilton [emoji7]

OK , I'll bite . 

Why is it called a "Babe Ruth " Benrus ?

[JohnHutchins]

The Babe Ruth Benrus was part of a Benrus advertising campaign - "Babe Ruth wears a Shockproof Benrus Watch."
