Just had an idea. I'm a bit to lazy to probably do this.... heh.
A chart.. with a Picture of the watch model then all the names and years for that watch underneath it.
Say a chart with a bunch of cases... I dunno... tonneau's together.. squares together... with mmxmm's...
Say something like this:

1941 - Rockland
1943 - Comptoller
1945/46 - Knickbocker
1947 - Clinton
1948/49 - Chief
And the next watch...etc.... oh I'm sure it would take forever.... and be very cool... I salute you who thinks to take on this project!! hehe...
In reply to I'm guessing your still by simpletreasures
I've been coming at it from a slightly different angle. I've been working on a list of models that are very similar or identical, then I'm listing any distinguishing factors for each one. Such a list could be expanded into something larger and more general, like Plains was suggesting. I haven't gotten very far, since I just started it a couple of days ago, but it's coming along.
I've also been toying with the idea of going through every ad and listing the models for each one. If such a list were in something like Excel, it could be easily searched by model, year, whatever. It could even be linked to images. If I were to do something like that, it would be helpful to know what data would be most useful so that I could get it right the first time.
