Collecting 1939 Bulovas

Here is one currently for auction  http://www.cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280592756443&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_5410wt_1140

Also is it just 1939 Bulova or other 1939 makes too?

Looks like a Minute Man...anyone concur?

Stephen,

Very similar -  '39 President.

Hnmm, close but I feel the President version is more square. Note the sub-dial curve.

1939 President - eBay watch in question - 1938 Minute Man

Confused Me also.  I concured at first I own a '37 and a '38 Minute Man that look identical to the '39 ebay watch aside from the engraved sides and the raised Gold Bulova logoon the dial, assuming these were upgrades for '39. Then stumbled onto this in the data base  http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1939-president-1049

Yeah chances are Scott's one is mis'id.

His is exactly the same as the watch in question here, but the curved sub dial goves it away. If you look back at most of the President series they are all very much square...well pre 1940s versions are anyway.

I'm still leaning towards the Minute man.

Note the curved case. The President is straight.

I bought a watch the other day that kis stamped with the arrow but it is so colose to being the same as the minute man I am confused now. I will try this weekend to take pics and fill in the info form to see if any one can identify it.

thanks
