Yep, I had to put mine on the back burner as I'm still trying to shuffel through a "Lot" of 45 (all ladies) Bulovas I recently picked up for (sush, don't tell anyone) $120.00  :-O  $2.66 apiece and nothing after 1952. Even better, is that more than half run and most have the orig. bands. Talk about falling into a pile of sh*t and come out smelling like a Rose...........

Yes, I'm beginning to like the elaborate artistry of their design and the technology of the time to make the movements so small, the 4 series movements are crazy small.

What are you using to establish that this watch is from 1921?  The case serial number that is just a theory/speculation at this point?

My experience shows that serial numbers were used only on movements from 1923. Does anyone else have the same or a different opinion or experience?
