Welp... don't ask me to show you a picture of the movement because the only way to get it out is to take off the front crystal and remove the stem. A. I'm nortorious for cracking/breaking crystals when I take them off the front. B. I've never been able to detatch on of those two part stems from the front. Ever... ... ever. Haha... so... the 23 Jewel Model number is copied from other examples of this watch Everything else is original (dial, hands, case) that I'm sure the movement is fine. According to the ad we have it look as though we've got the President "F". Of those 1960 President this is my second favorite only behind the triangle watch. This on has the unusual asymentrical back case.

Nice example, very sharp.
So there would be interest in a crystal removal/split stem Webinar? These are best left to your friendly neighbourhood watchmaker, but as I always advocate for getting these serviced if you plan to use them, I'm sure they could take the interior pics for you during service.
President 'F' it is, after President Fillmore, no doubt.

Yeah I think that Webinar would be pretty cool! I'd watch it. Might be hard to get us all on at the same time though with our crazy timezones. Maybe webinar record it and post it up!
President "OW".

The 1961 Pricelist shows the 'OW' as a new model and also does not show the $89.50 'F' variant. This ID could go either way for me; without the OW ad, it would be the F variant and vice versa. Would appear the OW was not avail until '61, but who knows for certain.
