There are radium burns on the dial where the watch stopped at 10:30 at some point in the watch's history. The lume on the syringe style hands is still present, but no longer luminesces. The painted Hamilton logo, numerals, and minute track are excellent. The watch is ready to wear on a vintage JB Champion expansion bracelet in stainless steel.
