Watch Description

Hello i figure i add some of my watches even though they are already known models...after looking at the exact year for this watch i notice there isn't any lone eagles of this kind with a 21 10ae is this the wrong movement in this watch??...or do i have the model wrong? when i got this watch it wasn't running after and good clean and oil it keeps time up to a minute plus or minus a day after regulation...i was going to sell it but i don't know if some want to make a decent offer i will consider it...but i really like it even though its on  a womens band i have a wire lug band coming for something else but that project when south when the yoke flew somewhere in the room... here are the pics..Corrected Ambassador, i now remember that...thanks for the correction..

Any dental drill would do that with ease, so I'm pretty sure a jeweler would have something similar.

Ya, I have a case with a drilled lug like this, just one. It was drilled at some point to prevent the springbar end from pulling through.

There is a similar one on the bay without the engraving that also sports a 1940 10AE 21J AAA so IMO the movement is original to the watch.

Well that info changes everything everyone has been talking about...so then the movement is original...that is good to know.,instead of something that has been changed..thanks for the update..does that then change the model name???

I don't see where it "changes everything"?? Seeing a "similar one" on the bay means nothing. IMO. The only thing I see is that there is another watch that also sports a 10AE 21 jewel AAA.

I still think this is a modified Lone Eagle unless someone comes up with a ad showing this as something else.

Your way off base Walter, I'm one of the less serious members on this site.

I saw basically the same watch without the engraving which IMO puts the movement correct for this style and era.

i was joking anyway, i was thinking how what you said will get the dicussion moving in another direction..the american clipper came engraved and not engraved also and that watch has the same title maybe with a different letter after the name......i am alittle foggy on what IMO stands for..also wasn't that movie in Black and White how did you get a color pic....

Technicolor touch up :-)   IMO, in my opinion,  Engraved/non-engraved,  hell at this point in time I think the Bulova family had engraved/non-engraved toilet paper :*(

I try to leave the "getting the discussion moving" to other members, but every now and then I get a "brain fart" and just have to let it pass  :-o
