My latest find. What's her name fellows. 3 diamonds at 9, 12, and 3:00. Could she be a Beau. I found her at the Flea Market for a whopping $5. with a cracked yellow crystal, sub-second hand floating around detached, crown wouldn't budge and dial was water stained. But she's looking good and running strong.
great deal for $5 Doug. you scored. Looks like an unknow Beau to me. Shawn has a very similar if not the same example. Nice
Will. would I be able to take a peek at Shawns Beau. I searched members, but no watches.. Thanks for your approval of my M0 unknown..lol

Hi Doug,
Sorry, I sold it. I'll go through my archived pics to see if I can find it for you. We speculated it could be a Beau but found no conclusive evidence. Unknown for now.
Possibly from the Lancelot series. More information about the watch needed.
Looks a lot like the Launcelot "A" but with "dot" hour markers instead of "darts", and the dial has been cleaned of any paint by the look of it.
Shawn..Seen yours on Watchophillia..Very nice....
Bobbee, your correct on the stripping..it was water stained so bad..I was curious and took my girls fingernail polish remover to it..Lancelot, I guess the Armor look is appropriate..Just dont know how long my dial will last naked like that. I think she has some clear in the box of nail goodies..lol, any suggestions..Have a great weekend fellows
Doug,
You may want to consider sending it out for a redial, $50.00 or so...it would be money well spent...it may very well be a Beau...at least I would give it a tentative, there were about 70 different "Beau's" available according to the '61 price list and they sold from $89.50 on up to $400.00 in 1961!
Or you could try a nail parlour, doug!
