The engraving doesn't seem to match the ad.

However, I compared it to my 1931 LE III & I give it 3 stars.

I know Bob, heh.

The ad for the 'Dress Dial' LEIII, as I like to refer to it as ( raised Gilt Arabic numerals vs Radium ) appears to be in an XX engraved Case.

Has anyone ever seen one?

Hey Guy's

My comment was a joke. If you recall on many watches Jay's comment is usually "the watch doesn't match the ad". 

Fifth that's a stretch of your opinion on your XIX. Need some hard proof on that one. I have the same with strect feeling on the two tone 1932 LE III. 2 + 1 don't equal 4 yet on them until we get somemore facts/proof.

Wayne,

Yup. If You magnify the Dress Dial ad look up around the Crown, the pattern is a distinct XX.
