1938 Banker
In reply to Watch in ad doesn't have by JP
It´s same engraving model as Will´s
I agree with Geoff- gotta do this "ID" to both similar watches- what ever we decide it may be. I see there are no unengraved 1938 Bankers in watch database. Our first two examples appear in 1939. Terry K has a 1939 w/ very similar crystal specs, and it literally looks like the visual differences btwn subject watch case and Terry's 1939 case are the engravings. Plain's 1939 looks the same too. Both 1939's have different sub-second track compared to subject watch...if that means anything.
We already ruled out subject watch wasn't the Chief, didn't we? I think the year of ads (and examples for Chief- if we have any) were1940 and up, but don't remember for sure. There was white back for Chief vs gold back for subject watch.
Still poking around the ads. Maybe something in the newer "decades" ads threads I missed.
