In reply to Good find, if You note the by FifthAvenueRes…
Shame about the matching dates on movement and case, yeah?
It really can't be anything else but a GC with that gold-plated movement, that evidence is overwhelming, and we currently have only a few ads for GC's, so "the hands don't match those seen on Golden Clippers (sic)" is a bit of an un-corroborated assumption isn't it?
FIN.
This one's got way to complex for me. I'm going to abstain from voting.
If I abstain, does this lower the number of votes required to meet "guideline" that the majority of panel members determine the ID?
I would think, for operational purposes, it could be the majority of the panel members who will vote (or perhaps have voted) which determines the ID. I don't want to give panel members an out, leading to a series of abstains if we don't have time/desire/knowledge to vote, but at the same time, want to know how my choice to abstain effects the majority number needed to assign an ID. I realize I can abstain if/when I want.
In reply to Will, you must vote. We need by Geoff Baker
The gold plated movement is a good point, based on the wording of that ad. But was the gold plated movement "new" that year only to the 17 J auto-winding Golden Clipper, or do other watch models also have a gold plated movement? I see this 1970 Golden Clipper w/ day/date.
And this 1970 unknown. And this 1970 17j manual wind Sea King. Or this 1971 17J auto-winding Date King.
I'm voting unknown for now.
