His Canby holds a little hidden secret.

The first thing I noticed about yours was that it is a Philadelphia case.
Most of Mine seem to Wadsworth.
The Canby came in a host of varieties and case materials. From Solid Gold to Gold Filled to Sterling.




Check out the Patina on this original Dial
I love Patina.

A Black Dial, not a lot of these around:

Here is an interesting one in Sterling:
(most likely a redial, but kinda cool)

Here is a unique Pinstripe version:


And a one of a kind Diamond Bezel... a little Canby "Bling"

They all have the workhorse 15J except one:

The Diamond Bezel was upgraded to a 19J

Now to that interesting "LUG" issue:
Some examples of the Canby have an incredibly unique lug system:
The lug has a swivel fixed spring bar attached to one side that poked into the
hole in the other side just like a regular spring bar.


The whole Lug actually screws out of the case:

Here is the threaded hole in the case...
A WILD design!

The variety of this watch is incredible and when Fred comes out with his new book, I am
sure we will get to see all the combinations offered in this simple, yet complex watch.
ENJOY~!
