Nice 1942 Navigator on what appears to be a mid to late 1930's Gemex double chain clasp bracelet as found. Watch case, face and band near perfect condition and appears to have not been worn very much. Engraving extends all the way to the lug tips and is sharp with no wear.
Just purchased at online auction for $23.52. Apparently no one found it except me as it was (gasp) listed as a women's watch. Appears to be keeping near perfect time.
When I bought it, my intention was to remove the band and replace it with one like the ads show. Once it was in my hand, I declded to leave it as is. The ring ends are a great compliment to the lugs.
Based on known ads I believe all 1941 and 1942 Navigators are actually Cromwell's.
Well done, Jim. Works for me.
