Never noticed the unusual lug arrangement on these till now. Have a soft spot for Hammys though have had to concede the larger ones are too much watch for my slim wrists. On the lookout for an older one to wear on special occasions.
OK - I'll have a look. Any idea if this customization included offering dials that otherwise were not part of the Electric lineup? It's either the dial on the watch pictured above, or the one on another 'Masterpiece' branded model I have, where the dial doesn't match any of the identified models in the book (there are some that are close in the Nautilus lineup, but no exact matches.) I'll confirm which when I get home tonight (and post a photo of the dial if it's not the watch above), but that's been another mystery that I haven't been able to suss out.
I'm assuming you mean the Electronic Diver's watch?
It's a model 702009-3 dating back to the mid-70's, using an ESA 9158 movement - it's been nicely restored by Paul (Silver Hawk), and was a "real" diver's watch back in its day, what with a screw down back and screw down crown (wouldn't chance it in the water now though!)
It really depends -- the watch, when issued, came on a blue/red band that matched the dial. If you can find it in good nick with that band, then I would expect a couple hundred $; mine was just the watch in great condition (just needed the brushed finish touched up and a COA on the movement) and I paid about $70 a few years back. I see maybe one or two per year come up on the 'bay.
Good point Paul! If we do, then we may need to allow postings of Vantage watches here as well! :tongue:
I DO appreciate seeing these Hamilton-Ricohs though!
