Ohhhhh SICK... that dial is mint man... and looks like that case will clean up nicely.
Yes, that's exactly what I thought Jerin, forgotton but minty - the brushed finish on the Caseback is still intact.
I just may have a strap matching the ad and a signed Buckle around here for it somewhere.......tried really hard not to buy it.
: )
I didn't see it.. or you may not have had to worry about it. =) haha....
Another 'sock drawer' Watch.
In 1946 the Watch becomes 'HIS EXCELLENCY' 'AA'
So is it "His Excellency AA " or "Princeton"? Or is it both/either? Is the first ad at top of post also 1946?
The original display ad is Dated 1946, the larger 2nd ad is Dated 1947, My bad. Nice catch William.
In 1947 the Watch is renamed to 'HIS EXCELLENCY', according to the vintage ads on file.
