In reply to The band should have no by FifthAvenueRes…
WHAT? You just stated in the His Excellency "C" discussion that the band alone could, and has, indicated an entirely different model name. You used as an example the Tuxedo and the Craftsman, stating that the only difference between the two models is that one has a leather band and the other a metal. I take issue with that example; nevertheless, that is what YOU just said earlier today.

allow Me to elaborate.
The 'TUXEDO' - 'CRAFTSMAN' example is from 1948 - Twenty Years post this Watches production.
Variants within Model designs are not seen in print until the mid-late1930's. - The 'AMERICAN CLIPPER' for example comes to mind....
I have yet to see a named variant or identical Model on a different 'mount' being named differently in the 1920's. This Bulova phenom does not occur until the late 30's, as stated above.
My personal stance on a named variant is the Watch would need to match 100% on all points. A 'Variant' thread may be an idea so We can all work through this.
