This is one of my favorite Hamilton watches. It uses a 987 A movement, typically has a Butler finished face, 18K applied gold to the hands and numerals. It’s elegant looking and big enough for people’s tastes today.
This one sold for $40 in 1938. You can typically find them on eBay for around $150, but in the brick and mortar Retail stores they run $450 and higher. I saw one for about that price on Amazon.
This is a gold filled watch and for some reason the gold seems to have gone on thicker than usual. I have restored several of these and have not seen any brassing or pit marks on them.
The Dodson may be one of the best values you will find in the Vintage watch market.
