Hi!  I am curious as to what you found out about your watch?  I actually have one almost identical and have just started researching what model it may be.  The closest I have come is La Petite.  I have not opened mine up, but it does have the number stamped on the back that is "915364".  I have been unable to completely understand what that refers to except reference to the "9" which my refer to the year 1929.  I can upload pics if anyone can help!  Thanks...I was so glad to come across your pictures as it was the only time I found something like my watch!

The number you refer to is the watch case serial number, and prior to 1946, the first digit would be the year of the decade that it was made...a 9 could be 1929, 1939 and in some cases 1949. From 1946 on, Bulova started using a letter/number code to determine the year on both the movement & case. (Example, L1 = 1951, M6 = 1966 like the above example) If there is no date code stamped on the case back, you will have to open it up and find the date on the movement which would be a symbol http://www.mybulova.com/bulova-date-codes

You can add your watch here http://www.mybulova.com/adding-your-watch-mybulovacom-database and maybe we can figure it out.
