“This auction is for a circa 1929 Bulova Wrist Watch, we think it matches the face of the 1929 Fleetwood, but this one has a 17 Jewel 10AN movement. (We matched it on the mybulova com site - what an incredible Bulova resource!!) We may have it wrong, if so, let us know and we will get it up here.”
You have it exactly right Sir!
In reply to Fleetwood for me by JP
My committee is still out. The two rows of horizontal engravings continuing all the way out to the edge of the bezel....Three ads showing one row on Fleetwood. The "length" of the little golden color rectangles on horizontal bezel (between the two engraved areas). There was a subtle difference with the length/shape of these gold colored rectangles extended between Fleetwood and Ambassador. Perhaps an Ambassador with a movement swap to account for diff in jewels?
In reply to 2 ticks Fleetwood. by DarHin
DarHin, you laid out a nice argument in page 3 of the comments for this record (1931 Ambassador) for case comparisons. There is a two year difference btwn these two watches, but I'm not seeing the suggested "differences" in the ads as year or case- short of the "missing two-tone ad" for Ambassador. Noting the dial differences.
The only ad for a watch with the double row of engraving is for an Ambassador, none of the ads for Fleetwood show a double row of engraving, only the single row on the top and bottom of the bezel.
This seems to be another case of "the boot don't fit, but let's squeeze into it anyway!"
In reply to The only ad for a watch with by bobbee
I think we need to consider reviewing the other two Ambassodors published as such, as their ID's may be incorrect. If we want to be consistent w/ our ID's... It could be the 1931 Ambassador listed here is a Fleetwood with a movement swap, vs subject watch being an Ambassador with a possible movement swap.
Is it the jewel count of subject watch which is favoring the Fleetwood ID, since the case engravings sure don't match any Fleetwood ads?
