vintage display ad Dated 1939









We have ads showing the engraved Ben Hur in 1936, 1937, and 1939 (in root record). We have no ads for an engraved Calhoun period. I may assume there was an engraved Calhoun, but for now, I'm not voting based on this assumption. This watch doens't need a mount for me to confirm three ticks as a Ben Hur. If it were displayed mounted on the rubber band which came on the Sunday morning newspaper, I would still give three ticks confirmed for Ben Hur.
Fifth Does the ad above exaggerate the "curve" of the case from side? Also, is ad bezel curved from straight on like subject watch, or might ad be straight bezel at engravings? ...and lugs look "longer" in ad.
