Well....any and all members willing, please help me out w/ my line of thought below. Please note any fallacious or flawed logic in my statements. The statements only apply to the subject watch in light of the Phantom ID and ads to date.
We don't have an ad stating on leather. I would not assign checks now based on some possible future ad which may indicate "on leather". So to date, regardless of mount (band), this case/dial/mvent combo cannot be confused with any other model than generic Phantom. While the subject watch does not match the ad based on mount, it none-the-less cannot be confused w/ any other model than generic phantom- so listed as such, it should receive a confirmed ID.
If a leather ad comes along, this may affect future variant designation, but not impact the confirmed ID as generic 1954 Phantom.
Does this seem correct? Why does this record now have two checks ID?
