Just wondering the name of the watch and if anyone knows how to find a crystal replacement or what I should be looking for that would be great. Thanks

Minute man has no engraving on watch or in ad.

Good point, I missed that detail. I was focusing on the dates.

Adverts for the Navigator are 1943-45 I believe and we have an 43 ID'd watch in the DB. The Broker seems to post date the Navigator (1945-48)

So where does that leave this 1941 model? Tentative Navigator?

looking through the watches there are several watches identified as brokers and unknown that look to be engraved navigator models as there are no ads for a 1940s broker with this case

That b&W ad is a little rough, but does appear to have the engraving, I'm thinking Navigator, we should have another look at the 'Broker' ID's as they may be Navigators? 

How's that for a run-on sentence?

Shoot I forgot about the earlier Minute Man discussion.  I'll read up and try to "vote" after that.

EDIT:  I'm good with 1941 Navigator after reading the Minute Man thread linked by admin.

I think I missed this one - I too think Navigator.
