A Pink GF case, with case back marked 'Bulova Quality' but the serial number scratched away and unreadable. No interior marks to identify the casemaker, just a service mark. 17j 7AN in good condition, I will update this and others as the restoration is completed. It's not clear in the pics, but the dial is copper coloured and works well with the pink gold case. It was re-lumed at some point, and not very well. Crown appears original as it is exactly like the case.
I should add, what's interesting about this is obviously the dial feet positions for the 8AH (Spencer, Senator) are the same as the 7AN, 7AP, 7AK, 7AH. Not particularly useful information, but interesting. It could mean you might find a Spencer dial on a 7AN, like we have here. Unless there is another copper dialed model with the tilted numbers out there that uses the 7AN family.
I agree admin, a 'SPENCER' Dial would not fit the confines of the 'LINCOLN' Case and it's about time We stopped looking at the Dial for Model ID's as We see various Dials across the board.
'LINCOLN'
the lume showing being added at some point post production of the Watch.
Rob,
Oddly the 'LINCOLN' I own You show is configured reversely:
The Case being what I believe Bulova referred to as Coral (Copper) as it isn't quite Yellow and not quite Red Gold, somewhere mid point. The Dial is Rose or Red.
Times of War anything goes?
The hands look correct for a Spencer or Senator. The lume, not being original, may have been applied over a non-lume dial. I picked some of it away and there is a whitish paint underneath, so may not have originally been lumed at all.
Interesting. My pics don't show it, but the case is quite pink, and matches the copper dial well. I'll try and get a better shot.
