Watch Description

By the dial it seems to be a Beau Brummel, but I've never seen one with an all steel case before.  I also haven't been able to find it in the ads database.  I'm hoping the experts here can figure this one out.

Looks like this watch is a mix of parts from different eras. The case (or at least the back) is from a 1950 Watertite, and the dial is from a 1961 Beau Brummell. Case also resembles the Astrojet. The 30 jewel movement and diamond dial would have come in a solid white gold case.

Very interesting pairing.  They look nice together but I agree with Andersok that this looks like mix to me.

I have to agree as a Non-Conforming but nothing wrong with the look of this watch.   I like the stainless matched to the case and dial.   A great looking watch.

Interesting combination, albeit Non-Conforming.

Watches that are assembled from various models using components from different eras are tagged here as Non-Conforming, which is our way of noting that the watch does not "conform' to a standard factory model. Typically the year we assign will be the production year of the case, if known.
