Unknown (at least to me) model from 1965. Orig. and crown and I believe the original half-n-half band and presentation box. Lovely textured dial. Came out of an estate, so I'm fairly certain this has been unmolested and is not a fraken-bully. One watchmaker's repair mark on the inside back. Any help would be appreciated.
Although not the best way to "see" if things may be distorted in shape/dimensions, we can look at other watches to see if we detect any sign of vertical exaggeration. It doesn't look like it. So then I can kinda "count the squares in the grid to determine "square vs rectangular" in ad.
So if there's no vertical or horizontal exaggeration, then a little better grid seems to show ~3 squares wide by ~3.3 squares high. Rectangle?
Will, could you do the grid thingy on the Clipper 'A' in the ad, above the Engineer?
It looks a little ovoid as well, and could mean a small amount of longtitudinal compression to make the ad fit, I have seen it in several ads I haved posted before, or maybe the original scan from source wasn't quite "flat".
In reply to Will, could you do the grid by bobbee
Will et al, I just checked the dial on the Clipper above the engineer, measured both the dial and case diameter by expanding size of image until it read 30mm for dial horizontal, 31.5 mm vertical. case was 40mm horizontal, and just over 42 mm vertical. The Engineer "G" image is vertically longer in a similar ratio, easy to do yourself and check my results, but it looks like either those two or all the images in this ad are slightly distorted, thus giving a false sense of dimension.
Based on other recent record in comments (and one of JP's recently ID'ed) shouldn't this record also be ID'ed to the variant "G"? Some are ID'ed to a variant "G", and some are generic Engineer w/o variant designation.
Three ticks for Engineer, as it's now listed. I'd go two ticks if ID'ed as Engineer "G" as per the other threads logic AND I think a two tick Engineer "G" conveys more info about this watch, based on ads to date, then a three tick generic Engineer....and we can be consistent between example watch records.
