Watch Description

An Interesting Watch...I have only seen ONE of these before, and it was in really bad shape. It had the same gold dial as well. Another site lists this watch as the "AIR KING" based on crystal specs alone.  The Case Measures approximately 19.5mm X 40mm. Dial appears to be original, as there are no refinishing notches on it. The case is unmarked on the inside. It measures approximately 13mm between the lugs. I find no ads showing this watch.

Wow... interesting.  I've not seen that model before.  I'm going to have to go with Unknown at this time.  Seriously nice job on it though.

That is one pretty slick watch. Unfortunately still Unknown.

My 1937 GS catalog list's the MX484 as fitting the Everett. Of course this doesn't mean that it didn't fit less popular models not listed in the index. I can cross reference the MX484 to BB, Perfit and Federal crystals but none list a model.

My 1943 GS catalog does list the MX484 as fitting the Air King at that time but I would lean towards Everett since the subject watch pre-dates the '37 catalog by 2 years.

Great looking watch Jeff, nice work on your part. I really like it, I just don't see anything like it.

Going to have to say Unknown for now....

I'm with Darren (see post above), tentative 'EVERETT'.

A very nice piece Jeff.

This is an elegant dress watch in every sense of the word, top drawer movt, with Breguet Overcoil. Based on the FHF 5, but the 6.75x11''' version. 

I'm still checking, but have to say 'Unknown for now'.

It never ceases to amaze me how some watches got so much print time and yet others basically got none or very very little.

Unknown for me until I see some tangable evidence.

Regardless I really like the look of this watch....very elegant and classic.

The crystal spec information given by Darren is tangable evidence.

I'm not seeing it added to this page. We know where IDing a watch purely based on crsytal spec often leads us.

I've with unknown on this beauty!

Tentative EVERETT based on crystal specs.

An increditable watch and a  Super job of restoration. 

Based on this watch, I would have no problem in recommending your talents to any one looking for a restoration specialist.
