For me, the Flying B (reminds me of a Prince), but in 18K YG.

If I had to choose one of the 3, it would be they Flying B ( is SS or white gold)
It's a bit different & similar to the Prince at the same time.
Isn't this what they used to call the " Doctor's Watch"?

Indeed it was! There is really no consensus as to why it was so-named, but the two reasons that are often cited are:

1) It was accurate (for its time) and had the seconds on the lower dial for the doctor to use to time pulse, etc.

2) Only doctors could afford the watch!

Perhaps it was a little of both!

If it as accurate, no way a Dr could use it. They're always late for my appointments
