Taking a cue from JP's recent post on the guy with the rose engine, I figured I'd post about my newest watch acquisition. For a couple of years now I've been looking for a Hamilton Piping Rock to add to the stable and finally I found one that was both in good shape and didn't break the bank. The Piping Rock sports a 979f 19 jewel adjusted movement in a 14k white gold case. This was pretty much the finest wrist watch you could buy when it was new. This example is from 1929 and for you baseball fans out there this is the watch model that was presented to the 28 Yankees for winning the World Series instead of rings.
