Here is a first for the database. It is the 1957 version of the American Eagle. It's an absolutely gorgeous angular design. The case is 10KT rolled gold plate with the same plated case back and an L7 date code. The dial is tarnished but was two tone with raised yellow gold hour markers on the even hours and pyramid dots on the odd hours. The movement is a 21J 8AC with an L5 date code. The best part is the original ab fab leather/gold plated combo bracelet. I can't wait to service this one and I think I will give the Tarnx trick a try on the dial. Found the model match in the 1957 Line Book.

That is really sharp looking JimDon. First one I've ever seen. I really, really like it. Please don't put TarneX on that dial. You're going to destroy it. You can get by using it on older dials from the 30's if you're going to unload the watch on someone else real soon. That stuff seems to keep working forever even after you rinse it off and gradually turns the older dials black. It will immediately take the paint off newer dials before you can blink an eye.
