Here it is. Priced below bottom book for a 992 with the gold center wheel.

This well running, serviced and excellent condition Hamilton Grade 992, 16 size, 21 jewel, adjusted 5 positions, double roller, Model 2, open face movement, housed in a solid base metal, 14K gold heavy electroplated case.

Take a look at the wheels and plates on this fine movement. Notice only pretty faint staining on the wheels - nothing glaring for sure - and clean, unscratched plates. This movement has been well taken care of over the years. The balance wheel swings wide with a good arc and a healthy beat. The gold center wheel and train appear in order and the gold jewel settings sparkle! Comes complete with original dust ring. 

The advantage to this case is that base metal cases are much stronger than, gold or gold filled case and rarely dent or have deep scratches. The covers tend to screw on better over the long hall also. This case's covers are very good. Electroplated in our shop with a very heavy layer of pure 14K gold.
