Description/Comments:
This is a reissue of the famous Hamilton "Piping Rock Model of 1928."  It was originally named after a vacation resort in upstate New York. It has an absolutely beautiful rose gold tone plating with an enameled bezel with inlaid Roman numerals and a black faced dial.

It is in like-new condition (it even has the original factory clear protective sticker on the case back.)

I think this is one of the nicest watches I have ever seen!

Case:
The tonneau shaped rose gold toned plated case is absolutely one of the nicest I have ever seen.  It measures 1 3/16" across (including the signed 'H' crown) and 1 9/16" (lug to lug.)  It is 3/16" thick.  The signed crown is located at the 3 o'clock position.  The lugs are hinged (swinging type) that are very eye-catching and appealing. The back of the case is marked Registered Edition, Hamilton, Base Metal Bezel, Stainless Steel Back, and (the model number 6194A.)

Dial:
The mint round dial is finished with a gorgeous black color. 

It has a 60 minutes/seconds scale surrounding the outer edge of the dial marked in gold tone. 

The antique-style hour and minutes hands are gold in color.  

The antique style sunken seconds sub-dial has a gold tone hand and a 60 seconds scale around its outer edge.

The bezel is enameled and black in color with inlaid rose gold toned Roman numerals for the hour markers, and it is raised 1MM from the case and definitely one of the watches highlights.

The crystal is flat on the surface and angular sides and is raised 1MM above the bezel. 

It is signed Hamilton below the 12 o'clock position.
