Love the two tone case design on this one.  I haven't seen it before either.  Unknown for now but I will keep looking.

Yellow on white yes.....white on yellow no. Nice looking watch. Dial and hands both look to be original which is awesome.

Let the hunt begin.

It looks to be a two tone version of the Stanford with slightly different engraving.  Unknown for me.

I'm almost inclined to go with the Stanford to be honest. Nice find Jim.

Given the different engraving, I would also stick to unknown.

From the numerous variations we see in many cases, I don't know if the engraving is enough to determine (or not) an ID. There are certainly models were the engraving might make the model, but in many of these early pieces I don't know if that is always the case. The Stanford is as close as we might ever get to an ID, unless another advert presents itself that describes the Stanford in more detail.

I agree with Alex - I'd stick with unknown. It is fun to see these 'never seen before' watches pop up though. That's why we search.
