Re: Fld w-y
The Smithfield which is marked Fldw-y 181 in the Catalog had been advertised as "white or coin gold filled" in it's ads. It clearly says "OR", so not all wathes which were marked w-y had been two-tones. I found this being inconsistant in The Book.
BTW: even the band seems to be original if I compare your photos with the Brookline ads from 1933. And I just found one 1934 ad of the non diamond version with a different band where the watch was called "Wellesley" described being available in "Natural or white gold". The Wellesley should be different looking though (Bag 80), it at least does in other ads, so I believe the name and possibly description had been mixed up. But again also this one says "OR" and is marked Fldw-y in the Catalog.
