The photo from the original listing looks like a square shield. M Holben sold it, he listed it as a 1931. Even if it is a 1931, it would not be an LE.

So I think we have a general consensus that it is a 'Charles'

....at least the case is.  Charles ad says 15 jewel, subject watch has a 1931 17 jewel mvnt.

hard to see much with the dust cover in the way. Super looking watch, Charles from me.

With the movement dating to 1931 and case 1932, are we assuming a movement swap in a Charles case- based on jewel count diff btwn watch and ad-  Or we are thinking Charles based on case w/o regard to jewel count discrepancy? 
Rephrase: Are we ID'ing the case here?  I'm cool with that.
