Yep,that's the one.Someday I'll figure out how to post ads to my submissions.Anyone know if the yellow gold one has a different designation?
66 BB "AQ"
No question that it's a Beau Brummell. Not sure if we can assume the AQ designation now that we have it in both yellow and white. I would tend to tag either "AQ"as we really don't know at this point.
We normally see different variants assigned to different case materials/colors and the referenced ad does not specify if "AQ" designates yellow or white gold. I wonder if this watch has had a re-dial or alteration; the Selfwinding mark looks out of place, too low and not sharply printed, and different from Jabs' watch.
Beau Brummell no variant (or 2-tick AQ)
I was also thinking it had been redialed but I haven't taken it apart to see if it had any marks indicating this.I also have an example of a yellow gold case but that one is a basket case in need of a lot of parts and tender loving care.
I'm in for a tentative Beau Brummell "AQ". Nothing to indicate this variant came in yellow gold. It probably did, but the advert doesn't state anything of that nature.
Nice Watch! Two ticks for AQ
