Does anyone have a picture or real watch with the exact marking of the watch in this 1929 Bulova Richard Ad?

In reply to Wayne, What is the above by GVP
1930 Richard with an engraving upgrade from the 1929 Richard. Note both 1929 & 1930 have vertical gold inlays. I doesn't have any ads for proof. I had a conversation with Stephen awhile back & he thinks it is a Richard varient. I think it is a 1930 Richard. The following is a picture of my 1930 Richard. It has the wrong hands & a 1941 10AE movement. The case and dial are authentic. The watch is well worth finding authentic hands & 10AN movement to make it an authentic 1930 Richard or a 1930 Unknown whatever works.
Wayne,
I have this watch in the project pile, identical minus the engraving to the face. Case is gold inlayed as shown, hinged but engraved on its sides only.10AN with the dust shield, butler finish dial, currently missing the hands and glass. Could be a 28 or 31 version. Check back in the am I will look at the date and post a couple of pics.
Mark.

Your watch is going to be a beauty when it's restored. I am in sniper mode the next time I see one.
Here is a picture of my 1928 Governor. It looks like the same basic case, also measures the same as my 1930 Richard & Lone Eagle II. I cannot find a Governor in any of the Bulova ads. I found the name in the Complete Guide to Watches 2010 version, on the last page of the Bulova section. Which brings up a question. Is your case with the gold inlays an upgrade of the Governor, or does it have a name of it's own?
