Watch Description

Here is one that was a big surprise for me in a lot of 12 Bulova's I bought on Ebay.  I new the  gold Jaguar was in there but this President in 14kt Solid Gold was unexpected.    The case is a 1937 serial number and is marked 14KT SOLID GOLD.   The dial is white with stick hour markers.   The movement is a 6AE 21 Jewels with a 1936 square date code.

The 1937 ad above shows the President came in a 14KT solid gold case.   The 1936 ad here shows the stick dial was also available on the President.  I have to believe the President came in 14kt gold with the stick hands.  It looks to be an original bracelet possibly from a Treasurer

Nice one! Always great to find a solid gold version of the President. You have a picture of the side to see how curved the case really was and compare it with the (exaggerated) curve of the illustration used in the ad?
