Watch Description

Based on information on the forum about a similar watch, I think this is a 1940 Banker. I would like to have your opinions on it though.

The case SN puts this at 1943, John. Also no ads for Banker with a white metal case back before 1943.

John,

The Case seriel number post dates the movement - 1943.

Question: Could the * on the Movement be an X? (also 1943)

'CHIEF' ad shows a Dial with a partially obscured 6 numeral.

so, ?

You can barley see the bottom of the 6 in the photo but it is there at the bottom of the sec register.

Then, IMO this is the 1943 'CHIEF'.

I am going to reshoot the watch now that it is finished and it will present much better. I am satisfied with 43 Banker.
