Just purchased the attached , it has a 10AX movement 21 jewels. Omega symbol for 1940 , inside case apparently marked Bulova . Cannot find this on data base, note crown is military style.
Nice watch, el tel. Can you tell us what you mean by "inside case apparently marked Bulova"? When you have the watch, please shoot pics of the inside case and a closer shot of the outside of the case. Would like to better see that symbol on the back.
Do you know what movement it has?
That was my thoughts , although if it is marked Bulova inside it would make it more interesting. Did not pay much for it and realized it may not be a ' proper ' case when I bought it . Will have more info when it arrives in about 5 days time. Intriged by the military style crown as it looks more like a dress watch to me.

Received the watch and as expected it does not have Bulova markings on the case. It appears to be a gold plated military case and can anyone explain please how to remove the movement from the case. The watch face has no markings to indicate that it had previously been in a smaller case and I would still like to find out the original case for this model.
I would add that despite it being an after market case it is an attractive looking watch and the dial is in excellent condition.

Terry,
You will need to remove the winding stem from the movement to get the movement out of the case, that involves loosening the setting screw (smallest screw on the left side of the stem) and pulling the stem out. You will need a very small sharp screwdriver for this.
