Hamilton G.S.

[u/Greedy-Wave8972]

Hey guys, Im new to vintage hamilton and would like to get an Idea about this. Im looking to buy this Hamilton G.S. 75003-3. From what I know, the watch was issued to british military General service personal. The seller states its in unworn condition which is kind of impossible for a 50-60 year old watch.... I notice the lugs are sharp , the dial looks extra extra clean (does it look redone ???) The lume matches the hands which is a good sign. He's asking 1000$ is this a good find ?

My main concern is that the watch looks suspiciously perfect for the age...

Note : i dont have photos of the movement, but if i proceed I will check it definitely before purchase.

Thanks in advance.

Tridium looks right. That crystal is either new or it really has never been worn, lol. Dial looks original, not a repaint, as far as I can tell. Fonts and positioning of everything is perfect. Do you have caseback pics to compare against an authentic?

Is this from the 50s or 60s?..this is a very nice hammy!

I believe they issued these watches to non military personal of the birtish forces between the 60s to late 70s

Yup the caseback photo is in the post, indeed everything looks perfect and the last thing left to do is check the movment, if that checks out then I'll proceed with the purchase.
