This ad has a model 23 with what looks like a similar metal band.
Another ad from '56 again showing a metal band that might be like mine.
Also from '56
It could be a normal Model 23 as seen here
or a 23A as seen here based on the face.
I'm not entirely sure what year my watch was made, it might be a frankenwatch with the wrong band, and wrong back, but I don't know for sure. I'll let the people who know these ID it and go from there.
I agree, its a nice watch and if I can find someone to give it a good cleaning and adjusting, it will be sweet. I paid $50 for it, ($6 shipping) all the others on ebay that are in comparable shape are going for upwards of $150.
