Watch Description

scarce silvered dial, needs a crystal and correct crown, does show some case wear to back. I discovered when looking for movement symbol==(the triangle being faintly stamped)== the letters CAL(Charles A. Lindbergh) at the apex of the screw hole, very tiny, stamped. Extremely hard to photograph, but a photo is shown here. Has anyone ever seen/noticed this on their early Lone Eagle movement? Could this be a distinguishing identification for the earliest of the watches distributed?

Watch Description

Purchased from ebay because it was pretty.  The crystal fell out of it after about a week.  And have not been able to locate a replacement.  

From what I've read and learned there hasn't been any maintenance performed and it still keeps time really well as long as you wind it everyday.  I believe that means the spring has been over wound but I could be easily mistaken.
