Watch Description
This is a really early 21 Jewel guys in the 10AE series. At first I thought it was the Ben Hur but then saw that the Ben Hur is etched only. So this smooth bezel Ben Hur is actually the Calhoun I think. Lugs are sort of cool as this watch looks like a Banker/Ranger with a sort of twist on the bezel right before the lugs. The "Calhoun" ad is from 1938 and it's in the database.

Wow, that shined up very nicely plains, well done. I'm going with Will, Calhoun, sweet watch.
If anyone is interested, I think I have one or two of those bracelet straps shown in the advert laying around (they're NOS). The buckle is plastic but maybe it could be replaced. As I recall the strap is a bit on the short side. For display purposes it would look great.
