Watch Description

14K Gold 1948 Bulova  -  From what I could gather it appears to be a Patriot model.

Dial, case and movement are in pretty remarkable condition for the age, however it is not currently running and I believe needs a new mainspring.  Case measures out to about 31.75 mm lug to lug, and 20.5 mm wide.

Nice watch, thanks for sharing it. I think

1949 Patriot is a good call based on the case s/n starting with a "9"..

1949 Bulova Patriot looks to be a good match.
