The watch was serviced before he shipped it out. I purchased it from a small independent shop.

Any tips/tricks for the hand wound 15j movement? I just wound it a small amount as I don't want to overwind the spring. It's great watching that blued second hand make its 8bps!
I have to get a slightly longer band, as it's a fairly small watch, but it's exactly what I was looking for!!
Eh.....for a casual change of pace I'd go with something of this ilk.How do y'all think the watch would look, for casual wear, with a OD green canvas band?

One of those would be great........if they came in 17mm
A typical mechanical watch (handwound) will run for a day and a half (about 36 hours, give or take a bit). Self-winding/automatic mechanical watches run for about two-three days, I think.
A good friend of mine has serious thoughts about this watch:
Any experience? Recommendations? Objections?

One of my latest catches which I got from a fellow Hamilton collector:
The Paige of 1940/41 with the rarer dial variation (gilt dial with black marker). It's a really cute beauty of the art deco era even while it is quite small with only 34 x 28 mm. It is still a men's watch but one of the smallest of that time I think:
