Watch Description

Just picked up this what for the life of me looks to be a 1939 Phantom with original bracelet.  What is very much throwing me off is the sub-seconds on the dial.  No other phantom I've seen has that. The dial looks to fit the case.  The seller has the case measuring:  1 & 1/8 x 13/16 which I think = 28.6 x 20.6  which might match the phantom minus lugs = No picture of the movement yet to confirm matching year and series.  The bracelet is definately period...  I dunno though... we don't have a Phantom as late as '39 I don't think.

No Mr. Smith. Bobbee said the Brunswick has hooded lugs. I thought that was part of the band ends in the ad. So it's still an unknown.

Yea I read that and then didn't consider when I looked at the graphic.  I too thought the "hood" was part of the band ends in the graphic.
Thanks
