Barney Green wrote on Thu, 02 June 2022 05:01Regarding the model name of Jack's watch, isn't the VT Adams with it's expansion strap the same as the 1940/41 VT Nimrod with leather strap? May be Gruen needed to make some more money or thought that an expansion band sells better during war time?
Here is an image of the Veri-thin Nimrod:
That name sure has not aged well. 
Anyway.... it is certainly the same case design from the ads, as the Adams. Isn't the first time that Gruen seemingly swapped a feature, such as band or case color to justify a different name. Thank you Barney; I've made some changes to the OP to reflect this.
Glad I can still engender a lively conversation.
