Watch Description

This is not my watch. I was unable to upload the photos to the forum, so I entered it here. It is similar to the Lone Eagle III, but slightly different. What do you think? Is it a variation of the LE III or a different model all together? Thanks!

Looking at the back of his watch it looks like there were some repairs done there.  Some malformations could be due to the repair or were what caused the need for repair.

This looks like the same type of WoolyBully modification was done to both of these watches. I have never seen any of the 31-32 Lone Eagle III shaped cases without engraving. I hope you guys didn't buy these. I would have liked to own both watches before the creative mod was done.

Are BOTH of these cases sporting the rectangular cut crystal type? Or  only the one on the right??

both I believe,

The bracelet ends on both are identical, besides the engraving and much too wide to fit on a regular lug case?

thinking were looking at an engraved and plain bezel 'ALLERTON' or 'EDWIN' based on the info at hand. I took the 'ALLERTON' ID on My unknown so that leaves this the 'EDWIN'

The Case does look like an 'AMBASSADOR' / 'LE' hybrid and I've seen less than perfect joint work on a Bulova Case before.

Seems odd to find 2....
