I just lost this watch on a better snipe... it went for $73.88. This one I would have kept as it find it to be fantastic. Somewhat disappointed.... Any ideas on this sweet looker gents?
Hey Plains, holbensfinewatches had one listed on another site and he classified it as a "Aztec Tri-Color Enameled" watch. Basically the same shape and style but his was more elaborate. This was the link...http://www.origami-kids.com/shopping/en/150524715704/ladies-1920s-bulov…. Hope this helps, Bob
Plains - so you got outsniped on your outsnipe of ME eh? I bought one for my wife 8-9 months ago (around $110). Cleaned up nicely. I figured I could flip this gal if I got her cheap enough. It's in the database with an old ad photo as the "Vassar" although if you look closely at the 27-29 vintage ads you'll see it as a "Miss America" as well. I've seen them sell as high as $275. A couple of the big watch companies made these enamalled ladies watches in the late 20's and they sell VERY WELL.
geoff

Geoff, I don't know about the "Miss America" as I have this particular "vintage" and have done alot of research on this model but I've never come across a "Miss America Enameled" if you have a reference I would appreciate a reference to it, thanks...Bob Oh BTW The ad shown in this posting I actually have if anyone needs a copy, Let me know :-)

In reply to Bob - I thought the ad posted by Geoff Baker
geoff, If you wifes looks like the one Plains posted above I'm guessing it's a "Vassar" , all of my "Miss America" models from late 20's to 30's dont have a true rectangular case and the dial is slightly different also. The later years of the "Miss A" changed alot. Can you post a pic of you wifes in the data base, cuz right now we only have the pic from a old ad under Vassar. Also, all three of my "Miss A's" have the quote "emeralds and saphires" and the filigree emblishments which the Vassar doesn't have. Another difference I see is the lugs. Right now I'm concentrating on getting my hands on as many original ads and reference materials as I can befor they are lost forever. :{

Appologies if the creation of this site has caused a sudden influx and interest in vintage Bulova watches....I never meant for it to happen....NOT!!!!
If only I had of foresaw this and stocked up on vintage Bullies....I'd be making a killling now.
Hindsight...I hate it!

oh...$73.88 thats dirt cheap for this watch....good buy!!
