$5 Hamilton Flea Market Find!
Friends, this never happens to me. The wifey and I went to the flea market today to browse around and hopefully stumble upon some finds for her collectibles and of course I kept an eye out for watches and comics (which I found a few).
In the last section of vendors, there was a small box on a table with Hamilton and Timex written on it. Dug through the 15 or so watches in the box, and at the bottom was this vintage Hamilton ladies watch… gave it a wind, and it runs! Slipped the seller a crisp $5 and it’s on her wrist!
Now she could care less about watches, but this piece is everything she loves. Old, vintage, patina’d dial. She put it on straight away and loves it!
Collector of all things cool and unique. Watch junkie, car freak. Why say no when it feels so good to say yes?

Amazing find!
If she's into vintage ladies watches the world is her oyster! Sooooo many options on eBay as they aren't as popular as the men's styles.
I picked up this vintage Omega for £75...
Not as good a deal as your Hamilton for sure, but I was still very happy with it. ❤

That Omega is gorgeous and a great deal! I’m honestly feeling really blessed. I cleaned the watch up for her, and told her she now has a place in the watch box. A few minutes ago she said hey, I’m going to wear my new watch; words she’s never uttered. Ugh… I may not be able to put the toothpaste back in the tube on this one!
Nice find.
Shhhhhh! My wife loves the vintage cocktail watches, and they're some of the few 'deals' still out there!!
