Another one of these has shown up on Ebay. Identical in every way (except the inscription on the back). So this was probably one of the more common models of 5th Avenue (since two turned up in a year).

Boy, I don't know. These two are the only ones I've ever spotted (although up until fairly recently, I really wasn't looking for yellow gold watches). This and the Longacre one other in the Master Book (with an empty case where you can clearly see the 5th Ave marking) are the only ones I can think of. I believe a departed collector I knew had one of those. They're all pretty rare. I've had two Longacres and seen a handful more, two of these, and one of the other. I think the timing for these 5th Ave. Quadrons was not ideal, pricey solid gold watches right as the Great Depression was really taking hold.

And this jogs my memory to check for a 325/3251 in my parts drawer. Feel free to PM me if I forget again, which is my way.
