What is quite unique about your new project is the visual perspective of the bezel is decieving. Notice how in the ad the artist made it look almost like a flat rectangle? You really don't get the feel of the convex of the bezel until you see it from the side... Cool :-)
I will update in about 45 Days, stay tuned.
There are 2 in the database, both dated 1940 and the ad is also dated 1940. Perhaps the artists rendition was so bad that the Watch didn't sell and was not produced after. lol
In person it's a very purty piece, well at least the Bezel is, everything else is shot.
Balance swings which is a good sign.
Unfortunatelty the old leather strap was completely dry rotted, looks like the orig springbars.
In reply to I may try to clean the Dial by FifthAvenueRes…
That would create a mildy caustic acid solution, but I think those ingredients would serve you better as crutches for the T'killya...If you happen to be near a museum, stop in and ask to see a pro restorator, they may be able to give you some tips on what to use and where to get it. And those types are always helpfull when you are trying to restore originals of about anything.
