Identification Help

Submitted by spiro13 on May 6, 2011 - 7:34pm

 Hi 

I just got this watch off ebay and would appreciate any help to identify it.

Vital Statistics - 10AN Movement, Symbol -X, 17 Jewels, Case Markings - Bulova Quality #3220145

                             Crystal - Appx. 24.09mm X 15.6mm.

I have checked the adds for '33 and '43 as well as a watch search by year and movement.

Thanks 

Tony

I got it to practice on. It has no winding stem and the crown wheel and  castle wheel are crooked. The funny thing is I pulled out a large piece of lint from the balance wheel and it started running and did so for over four hours. Go figure.

Haha... thats AWESOME!  I don't know the model name but it's semi rare I'm thinking... it's only the second one like this I've seen.  It's sort of a mid 30's ranger body with the sloped steps but has those two nice scrolled bands down the bezel... highly sweet looking in my opinion.  Almost looks like another Sky King of the late 20's.

The 10AN doesn't show Swiss or USA so X = 1933
