A Tale of two Corrigans

Submitted by plainsmen on January 7, 2011 - 8:27pm

On the left is my 1938 Corrigan sporting the 17 Jewel, 10 AE model... I believe it's the original model.

On the right is my 1941 Corrigan 17 Jewel, 10 AX model just recieved... notice the dial variant in the second's numerals as well as the outside ticks on dial.

Two beautiful watches though I think....

How can noone comment on the sweet pictures of my Corrigans?

Purty for sure.

I wonder if one is a possibe re-dial? If so I'd say the left one was. Just based on the lack of outer tracks.

Just throwing it out there....

I would agree that one is a redial.

Guess what I haven't seen come up for sale in quite awhile... yep... a Corrigan.

There have likely only been perhaps 5- 6 Corrigans on eBay in approx. the past 12 months? I saw one other one after the watch Philip recently resold for me... and Jerin sniped 2- 3??? (However I haven't been monitoring many Bullys, etc. for 2- 3 months... as I've been very busy, elsewhere!)

The Corrigan is a rather unique design (much like say the Rite Angle, for instance... And another example of the "Elegance of Simplicity..." that was the Latter part of Art Deco and initial Art Moderne design eras... (i.e. "Terraced & Streamlined," respectively...) Wish I still had mine! (GGGRRR...)

Nice pair of Dougs,  BTW...

Those were the 2 that I had.... sold one to a guy in Japan... kept the one on the right for myself.
