Here is a flea market find from this weekend that has me stumped. Probably a Beau Brummell but I cannot find a variant. This is a big thick watch case that rounds over like a big donut. The case is yellow gold with a stainless back showing an M4 date code. The movement is a 10BPAC and 23J. The dial has round diamonds set in "flower" settings at 3,6,9,12 and is two tone with a darker center. It came without a stem or crown. I found a stem but still looking for a crown that fits.
I am not sure how we arrive at non-conforming when we don't have a case or dial match anywhere in the DB to say it belongs to another model. Unknown seems the best classification.
Can any of you see a date code on the movement in this watch? 1959 is the newest year for a 10BPAC in the data base currently.
Well the movement has a 61 or 67 not a traditional date code. The 1 or 7 is a straight vertical stick with a 45 degree left facing arm. I am thinking 67. I think this settles it as non-conforming.
Jim - I see this dial in 30 Jewel Beau's from the 50's. With date code movement in the 60's I think you're right.
