Working on a vintage Hamilton from 1964 - and giving it away!

[thor447]

The channel on YouTube recently surpassed the 1,000 subscriber mark. I thought it'd be fun to celebrate that milestone by doing a vintage watch restoration & giveaway.

I had this old Hamilton in my project drawer for some time. It's a classic 1964 model M89-3, and I thought it had real potential to clean up nice. I figured more people would know about this watch brand than some off the oddball Seiko's that I tend to gravitate towards. These are really excellent watches with high quality Swiss movements. The rebuild went very well, and the watch is looking great.

I uploaded it to YouTube last night and announced the giveaway (which will take place on Sept. 16th). All one has to do to enter to win this watch is subscribe to the channel and leave a comment on the video.

I didn't know if people would respond to it or not, but about 15 hours in thus far they seem to be reacting well to the giveaway. I'm actually pretty excited to give this one to a new owner. It's an awesome vintage watch.

Awesome work as usual Adam. Congrats on the milestone. It's definitely well deserved.

Now, how can I convince you to rig this giveaway in my favor? You can even keep that XL sized strap.

Great to hear! Hopefully this will boost your subscriber base.

It wasn't about growing the base, as it was more about saying thank you to those who already joined, but yes, it does look like it is going to boost it a bit.

I know you well enough to know that to be the case Adam. Still, if you’re going to take the time to write a book (metaphor) be nice if folks took the time to read it yes? I see you working on these things and it reminds me of a heart surgeon. I can’t even imagine the time, energy and skill involved in such an undertaking.

Just finished watching the rest of the video. Relaxing, enjoyable as always.
Mrs dlbleak got to watch her hummingbirds and I watched the vid. Good night on the patio.

If someone from OSA wins it's going to look rigged now, haha!
