I wonder if the linebooks are also wrong on the gold plating. States gold filled, but the examples are all RGP. Same GF comment for the yellow "N" variant.

Sharp watch, congrats.

Interesting observation, I missed that as the linebook also states "black dial", but the 3 current ID'ed watches (counting this one) match the illustration 30117.. They show a white dial, and number on the description matches the illustration as seen HERE. Apparently somebody was asleep at the wheel on this description......

Very nice Bob - 1956 Beau Brummell I seems like a match.

1956 Beau Brummell "I" is a good match. Great looking watch and nice job on the leather inserts.
