Yea I think I had leaned towards unknown but gave in to a tentative ID from peer pressure.....  It's similar, but different...

I don't believe we decided to call this a Sky King, it was more of a consensus to do so based on a number of aspects of the watch that are unique to the Sky King model and the information we have.

If you are saying that this is an unknown model just because it doesn't match the advert perfectly then we need to rename all of the corner cut Lone Eagles to unknown also as none of them match the adverts 100%.

Until such time that we see evidence to the contrary these should all be grouped under the Sky King model.

Well said. specially since looking at all the XX case sky king examples they average 2+ ticks each.

Only five examples with chevrons and rosebud bezel engraving the other 12 are XX cased.
