Watch Description

1938 lone Eagle ?  Running and keeping good time.  Case;  42mm x 25.5 w/o crown.  Dial will need to be replaced or re-finished.  Looks like Original Glass crystal.  B-10k Rolled Gold Plate.  10k snap back /stepped.  I have looked and found a few that were similar but they were smaller, this is quite large.  No braising or plate loss.

I found a replacement dial in near mint condition for 10 dollars. When installing it i noticed it only has 60 & 30 printed in the sub second hand box.  Aaah  , I guess I'll leave it on..lol

Yep the 1938 Ranger is a different watch. I do recall we had either identified or discuss engraved Banker's previously. So I'm tentative 1938 Bulova Banker.

Crockett looks like a cotenter too, but the adverts states 17 Jewels.
