Watch Description

Picked this up a couple of years back as part of a lot purchase. Has the 1938 10 AE 15 jewel movement. The case is sterling silver and the maker is ID. I don't know if Bulova ever used this case maker or not. I was thinking that this was a version of the Wate rtite model as the screw on movement cover mates onto a rubber gasket and the crystal (missing right now) appears to be a press in using a gasket as well. Sending is in this week for a service. Have at it guys, I know it has been a while since I have posted any watches. DACA

Hey, just looking at some of the other Star cased models.

Is it possible that this is an early Military model?

The case back screws into place with the gasket under that.

Being a 1938 movement, this might have been an early version?

Oh, never mind.

 

I reviewed the info I input on this one.

 

Just didn't want to give up on the possibility that it was genuine.
