Double date stamp on this gents of both the Crecent Moon and the Arrow. I'm supposing a movement production of 1937 and then joing witht he case in 1938. Rarer 7 Jewel in a men's watch in the last 30's. Pretty much a engraved Ranger, though I'm sure Bulova has a different name for him. I was hoping someone could appraise this and tell me how much it's worth. =)
Since we're throwing out "theories" I throw this one into the mix......
Since these watches were all hand assembled, is it possible that one of the "assemblers" did a "mix and match" for themselves or as a gift or out of boredom? Based on my research, the Westies and standard Bullys were coming out of the same place during this time frame.
If this possibility exists, then we need a new descriptive category or terminology other than "Frakenbully"...
I suggest, "Westbully" or "Bulowest" ???
?
The subject is a Bulova with Bulova signed movement and Dial. Although the Westfield version is identical and named 'HUDSON' Westfield movements were signed as such and the Dial is clealy signed Westfield in the ad.
it's anyones guess at this time what the Bulova signed version was called.
