Very nice tonneau. At 38x33mm this would be one of the larger watches of its day, wouldn't it?

I like the applied numeral versions like the second of the series. What's the average selling price of a piece like that, Tom?

Yes. The Drake is a bit larger and the 18K 1927 Rectangular model was the largest of them all, although I do not know its dimensions.

The average eBay selling price is $282 (wgf) and $229 (ygf). I'll have an AGN ygf Perry available if I ever get around to having the movement serviced.

I recently sold my white gold Perry with the luminous hands and numerals. It is a good sized watch and very sharp on the wrist. Going to miss it, but moving on to other things these days...thanks for sharing your vintage knowledge.

I used to have a yellow gf Perry with refinished luminous dial. I had begun my quest for original dials, so (despite the perfect case and original crown) I ended up selling that one.

But I eventually became the owner of this very nice white with applied gold numerals example (an an aside, I also had to wait for months while my watchmaker finally got around to reworking the balance assembly). It is now one of my most prized Hamiltons. I just love it.

I need to add a luminous dialed Perry to my collection. I like the look.

I tripped over this old photo the other day. I think it was one I saw on the web a while back. Any opinions on this dial? Fantasy reproduction or original? I like how the material (leaf or gilt perhaps) inside the Butler center is also inside the sub-second track -- just a cool look. Anyone else have one like this??

 

[Vintagehamiltons]

IMO, a custom refinish. The subsecond track looks to be from the Mason.

I agree with you... but it is cool.
