This Hamilton 975 is in a "salesmen's case". There is a crystal on both
the front and the back. The case is an actual Hamilton case,
"Hamilton" appearing near the stem on both the front and the back.
Interestingly,
the case is snap front and back. The front bezel is actually quite
difficult to remove. Since this is a lever-set movement, that means
that presumably the salesman would have been unable to demonstrate
setting the watch.
