Whilst the minute track looks straight the case looks to have a slight curve. Banker advert looks to have nice straight sides.

Fifth as you say the Crockett is tonneau, as is the subject watch.

Tentative Crockett for me.

admin,

The subject bezel opening is straight, as on the 'BANKER'

Mark, from my perspective the bezel opening is not straight. I compare both side to the minute track and find them slightly bowed.

Boys,

The Glass combined with the Camera angle is throwing an illusion.

This looks to be different from the subject watch. The sub dail differs as do the side engravings. The example above has the engraving going from lug tip to lug tip. Subject watch doesn't with the engraving looking to only go from top of crystal to bottom. Then again it could just be wear.

Jabs, any chance of a front on picture without the crystal, or just a better front in picture?

They are not straight from what I see, very much a slight curve. Not a Banker based on the curve.

You can also see the difference between the minute track which looks straight and the side walls. They are not parallel.

Looks kind of Crocketty to me.

jabs,

 

Is the bezel opening for the Glass on Your Watch straight as in a rectangle and on Wills' example shown above, or is it curved (tonneau) ?

Gentlemen,

The Glass opening is rectangular as the Owner states, therefore the subject is not the 'CROCKETT'.

 

The Watch is a perfect match for the 'BANKER'

with engraving.

...I like how you ad "wth engravings" at the bottom.  Guess  I'm good for tentative banker for subject watch and my example.
