A few months back I went through all the alleged Sky Kings in the database and took a look at the two models that I have--one that matches the ad and one that matches the subject watch--and I noted a few interesting facts (at least they were interesting to me), i.e.:

• The two models' cases are the same size and shape;
• The two models take the same crystal;
• All the wannabe Sky Kings in the database are dated 1931 or later, if you go by the case serial number rather than the movement;
• All the Sky Kings that match the ad are dated 1930, if you go by the case serial number rather than the movement.

So, I got to thinking. . .maybe the ones that match the ad were the first iteration, and the others came next, but both were Sky Kings.  The fly in the ointment is the later ads, running at least through 1932, which show the same "fishy" engraving pattern, with no ads showing the other pattern.
