Re: Hamilton 14k gold diamond watch
Circa 1937 - 1948  17 jewel movement. this is based on the 780 which is the serial number. (486300) was the total number of watches in this serial set. I would further guess that with this serial number it was just pre WWII. So circa 1937 - 1940's
Origins : Hamilton Watch Co Lancaster PA.
In order to do an evaluation I would need more details and pictures. The clasp on the band, does it work, does it keep time ... any noted damage etc ....
Very cool watch
Thanks for sharing ....Â
