JLR468 got a reaction from MonkeysUncle in Trying to identify/date my grandfathers silver pocket watch
Hi,
Im more of a wrist watch guy but the movement looks American to me, perhaps a Hamilton’s or less likely a Waltham (although more common)
Many watchmakers in the UK in the first half of the 20th century bought all the parts and assembled them in their shops, hence why no makers marks on the dial etc. Many of these watches get passed by when they have some really good movements inside. There have been cases of Rolex movements found in generic cases. Good luck with the watch its a lovely thing.

Hi there,
Hope everyone is well, I’m John from Scotland, I’m retired and have a few hobbies like watch repairing and small antique sales. I’d like to learn how to perhaps buy some bullion coins that can be left for my family when I’m gone, or if I last another 20 years maybe a 5 star cruise for myself!!
Best regards
John
