Admin,

I must disagree with Your analogy of the IHC 'SKY KING' ID as discussed in this thread:

http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1929-lincoln-638

Closer scrutiny of the vintage ad for the Bulova 'SKY KING' will reveal that the Watch depicted does indeed match the 2nd, more cleanly visible ad of the same.

Circled below are My observations of the Second ad:

1. Chevrons appearing on a Silver section of the Watch Case before the lugs.

2. A bracelet that differs slightly from the Watch shown in the IHC 'SKY KING' box.

These differences bolster Jay at Vintage Bulovas' original contention that the Watch below is the only true 'SKY KING' depicted in any ads and the Watch within the IHC thread is a 'similar' but mis-identified Watch in a 'SKY KING' box
