Late 1960's Hamilton Thinline Vintage Watch Restoration - Swiss Made Caliber 686

In this video, I service and restore a vintage Hamilton Thinline from the late 1960's. The movement is a Swiss made Hamilton caliber 686 manual wind with 17 jewels. The movement is based on the A. Schild caliber 1200. I serviced this movement in October 2020.

While the service was fairly straight forward, I did need to replace and install a NOS mainspring.
