Watch Description

This two tone beauty appears to have spent it's entire life tucked away from all hazards know to endanger watches. The case has minor 'shop wear' but really shows no sign of ever having been worn., The crown is near perfect and even the buckle on the bracelet, which usually shows some scraping is almost flawless. I am certain it will not be matched in terms of it's condition. I am certain that the bracelet is original to the watch, the combination is remarkable. Dial and hands have been refinished and relumed.

I'm in agreement with the new ad this is the Franklin.  We know the dials were very interchangeable right around this time.

I wonder how I missed Jim and Jerin's comments? While the advert clearly states 'raised' on the dial as opposed to  radium I concede that we have ID'd based on case over dial. Any other thoughts from Panel?

We've seen other models use both radium and raised numerals, so I've no problem with this watch having a radium dial.

All elements seem to be a nice match for the Franklin advert.

No doubt it is all original and agree with the Franklin name.
