Watch Description

Not a lot of info on this one, I snapped these pics in a hurry after the customer showed me his watch. I originally thought it was an interesting example of how things can morph. I hadn't encountered the watch before, and I assumed the difference in the lugs was a repair, but as shown below, it is not.  

Pics used by permission.

This is one of the Presidents models. The lugs may have been repaired but they are original in design.

Shawn, are you saying that this is how it is supposed to look? 

I just noticed that the header says 1959, but my input was 1960.

That's a nasty re-dial too, with the wrong hands.

This is how they shoud look, like my baby!

Now, that is different. What a curious watch.

No questions here, it's a President. Great looking watch, I like this one a lot.

BTW the dates are off by one year between the form view and the header for all watches added recently. I'm sure admin will get around to fixing that soon.

Oh, snap. Now I have to get one. Rare, you say?

I haven't seen another Beau in this case, but you occasionally see the President.

This model was the flagship of the 1960 line, highest priced too.

I'm good w/ President.  Redial and different hands, but no biggie.  Doubt that placement of the 23 jewels on dial make it a different model LOL.
