Thanks for highlighting this model for us. I can't recall ever seeing one before. Your black zone dial has the perfect amount of aging to it, IMO, and it is much more interesting than the AGN version, again IMHO. Very cool watch!

Off the top of my head, I think this is similar in size to the 'Todd'. When I first started acquiring Hamiltons, I saw an auction for a 'Todd' without doing my homework. I loved the style and the dial. (Poet and don't know it.) When it arrived, it came as a bit of a shock how diminuitive it was. From that point on, I have always made sure of the actual dimensions.

I still have it, and still like the styling. But, I have been dismayed that I can't find a 'Bund style' strap that is made to accomodate a 14mm lug. That could help offset the size on my wrist.

For comparison, the Chronograph B is 36mm and is considered a ladies size by today's standards.

I have seen two on the bay yesterday. But the cheapest is for $385 and the other one around $400, both with the black zone dial. As I recall the sellers think of them as women watches. But then there is one in the german ebay selling a Linwood as a womens watch too. That is also a small one with similiar measures as the Paige.
