Another service/restore purchased unserviced with cracked crystal. Dial and hands are original and not refinished.
Jet Clipper 100%
'JET CLIPPER' is the 'knee jerk' ID, in this instance I'm not so sure.
The 'JET CLIPPER's in the database all show a screw down Caseback, the subject does not, indicating a different model or the existing 'JET CLIPPER's are ID'd incorrectly.
The subject Watch has a press fit bezel.
Fifth you are correct that all the Jet Clippers in the database so far are screw back, BUT none of them are the "A" variant. It would appear that the Jet Clipper "A" had a snap back. Would also explain the price difference between the other Jet Clippers listed above. The "A" was the cheapest at $39.95.
Jet Clipper "A"
The "A" variant possibly has a push-out body, or pop-out, if you will. The same as the Surf Kings.
The difference is easily seen when we scrutinize the ads posted, the thickness of the "A" bezel when compared to some, but not all, Jet Clipper variants is easy to see.
It is easily verified.
Aberlow, can you pop-out the body from the bezel by resting the lugs or edge of the bezel on your fingers, and pushing on the crystal with your thumbs to do so? Or is it a push on case back?
Thanks buddy.
No knees jerked, just correct analyzing! :^D
