Hamilton USN Buships canteen watch

[bazelot]

Finally bought a Hamilton USN Buships canteen watch. I had been looking for one for years at a decent price. Still paid a hefty price but not as bad as it could have been. THose things are super rare.

Nice! Would love one too, but have seen few and the price/condition was never right. Congrats - that looks superb.

Same here, i had to wait a while to get one, I was not willing to spend $2500 on one. The condition of this one is great, not perfect but i am not afraid to wear it everyday. Accuracy is also spot on for the 987s mouvement

Excellent and rare item! Does this example have the glass crystal with lead seal around it?

I believe the crystal was replaced. It was really scratched when I got it and I managed to get most of the scratches off with elbow grease...

Beautiful. Is the strap original ?

I have original ones but this one is a reproduction. Since I am going to wear it daily I thought it would be better. By the way does anyone have any repro band like this one available for sale?
