Maybe I need to look at the ads a little closer - as well as my emails :) The ad seems closer to an example Wayne posted in the comments- not the subject watch....and it may be Wayne's case for that example isn't Bulova?

Not sure it's worth getting too hung up on those horizontal engravings. The verticals are a close match and for $50 I'm betting that its a 18K gold watch advertised which would also be a match.

It's the correct watch advert IMO.

Another nice find!!

But Stephen, the engravings are 0/3. Corners don't match, horizontals don't match and the verticals don't match. Nor is the subject watch stamped Bulova. IMO the subject watch is not the watch in Will's ad.

Disregard my last point. Subject case IS marked Bulova.

as noted, the case which does match the engraving of the ad is Wayne's example-not subject watch- and it's Wayne's example which isn't a bulova case.
I am seeing the different engravings on ad vs subject watch, and agree, while sorta similar, it's a 0 of 3 for engraving areas you mention.

I've assigned one tick (unconfirmed) for the current ID, and it's a work in progress.

I have a square Bulova with the same enamel design on it and the case back says Bulova 14K gold filled, American Standard Pat Jan,11,1927 and the serial number is 8379930. The engraving is the same on the verticles but after that it changes. There was no movement in it when I found it and I am not sure about anything but the facts stated above. This was one of many cases I dug up at my friend Michael's shop which was willed to him by his Master Watch Maker father.
