This watch is fantastic!  I don't recall ever seeing one of these on here... and I can't find it in the Ad's... of course I'm only one set of eyes. 

What is it boys?!

Check the case manufacture. Not 100% convinced its a Bulova case.

I found a similar case that has the Bulova name & looks most like a 1929 ad for the Ambassador, but have never seen one quite like it before. I think I would trade my 1925 Bulova President & throw in my antique 7/16" deep socket with exceptional patina.

It is but only as an ad.

Beautiful watch, look much nicer in real life.

Great looking Buckingham Mark. That narrows my search for all of the 1924 to 1930 rectangle shape Bulova ww pictures down to four. Does anyone have a picture of a Chancellor, Apollo, Windsor or a 1925 numbered watch 39713, never given a name & never appears after 1925 in ads.? Here are the ads for the Chancellor, Apollo, Windsor and 39713.

Hey Plaines

I found this in a multiple lot on eBay and cropped it out. I think this one is a Westfield.

Hrmm... so do we think that the OP watch is a bulova movement in a westfield case? Uhmm... or is it an actual Bulova in a bulova case?

Plains

Some young guy probably put it together to get your attention. If you got stuck with it, I'll buy the hands for $5.00. I don't believe the rest is a worthy collectable. In my humble OP opinion. LOL
