Watch Description

Here is one the has me stumped.  It appears to be a 1950's model but it clearly has a M4 date code.  The case is a 10KT yellow rolled gold plate case and case back.  The case back has an M4 date code.  The dial is silver with applied gold markers in 12, 3, 9 & 6 numbers.   The movement is a 10BP with 23 Jewels but with an L9 date code.  I've searched most of the line books from 1955-1965 and can't seem to find this case.  The case back appears to be an exact fit so I do not think it has been swapped.   I cannot explain the 1959 movement date vs the 1964 case date.  Everything looks factory correct.

This is a tough one; case looks to be similar to the Kirk a few years prior. I am unable to find a match...Unknown at this time.

An attractive watch that does indeed seem out of place in the style timeline. I have come back to this one multiple times and can't find a match either. I wonder if this could possibly be a masterful combination of parts. Sorry, man.

Unknown for now; noting gap in dates.
