Are you sure on the Alderman and not the Stamford?

The Alderman looks to have another line in the case that also shows up across the top and bottom ends

where the Stamford doesn't.

Stamford in yellow gold, Alderman in rose gold. It can be seen in the printed description for Stamford.

Yup,

I had the Watch listed as the 'STAMFORD' initially, 'til I read the fine print.

Rose over Sterling Bezel Shawn hence the heavy Tarnish, as You had pointed out on another Watch I own.

It's a Bear to remove...
