Great dial on this one Jim. Looks like a familiar case shape though, but cannot place it yet.

Jim, where your crystal seats to the case, is it bent in both directions or just from 12-6 and flat from 3-9? I've found one with the correct dimensions but it is only bent from 12-6.

Based on the recent IDs this appears to be a 1959 Pearson.
