Hamilton 2032B Thinline Watch Rare all SOLID 14K GOLD BOTH WATCH and BAND.  This watch is very thin. When you have it on,  the band makes it feel like it's part of your skin.  Manual Wind up watch.  Runs well but a little fast.  This watch was purchased new, in the 1960s, from Descenza Diamonds in Boston, Boston's premier jeweler, for over $300.00.  That was a good chunk of change back then. As  I am no watch expert or even a novice, I will let the photographs speak for me. It  always functions the times that I have worn it. It does gain a little time every day and it's a watch that must be wound every day.  I would guess, that it just needs a slight adjustment plus or minus,  that someone who knows what they're doing, could do.  I collect Guitars so watch watches are not something I know much about.  with guitars, it's considered a plus when you know the history of a pace. This watch has been in the same family,  since it was new. It's original owner was one of 13 kids, who grew up in the depression. Served in Okinawa in World War II. Came home, worked very hard and became a very successful man.  As you can see, there is wear on the band but it is fully functional. The clasp which is also marked 14K solid and holds the watch on your wrist, as well today as it did in the 1960s.  I hear that the movement in this particular watch is a Buren, which is highly regarded I have read.  I 'm quite certain this watch is worth over $1000.- for just it's gold value.  Beyond that, I haven't a clue.   Lower 48 states USA only.
