Watch Description

Hello,  I'm thinking about selling some peaces of my collection. Watch is fairly clean but I have never got to clean it. I think this one is Sky King, but not 100% sure. Can anybody confirm?  Thanks+regards,

Bart

I've been the new owner of this little beauty for a while now* and would like to know whether the "Kirkwood" identification is upheld among you experts?

*(actually was in my wife's chest but her eyesight has deteriorated so much that she can't read wristwatches anymore)

Will have it serviced as it runs only face down. I was surprised how big it looks on the wrist.

Here is a higher resolution ad from 1932 that does appear to match this watch.  The question is if the watch had a different name in different color or  color combinations.

Thank you for your comment. However, the bracelet is different and there’s still the differing jewel count. 😉
