Nightwatch 1 Posted March 13, 2011 I have always admired the Hamilton 917 movement and dial, but until now I've never found a way to use the Hamilton dial as the sub dial on the Hamilton is at 6 o'clock and does not work well unless you want the winding stem coming out the top of the watch at 12 o'clock..... So I decided to remove the numbers from the original dial and use them along with the hands on a new dial I made... There is no number 6 on a 917 so instead I used the number 9 and inverted it then used the round dot from the number 6 to replace the missing 9, which works perfectly because using a sub dial there's no room left to put a 9 on number anyway, you have to use the dot. The case is a DSN 6154 and the strap, which I feel is a perfect colour for the dial, is a gunny 74. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pollux1 3 Posted March 13, 2011 That movement oozes quality, and the dial is very nice too. It looks real nice to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flamagic 0 Posted September 6, 2011 Looks Great! I collect vintage Hamiltons and they were considered the best of the American Watch companies. Hamiltons (US made in their heyday - from the 1930's-60's) are considered America's Patek Philippe Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
