Wrist edge case with hinged lugs. Bulova dial, with a quartz replacement movement. Gold tone case, possibly brass? No marking on the case, or crown. Possible case marking on the inside of the case back are obscured by... bubblegum? Something orange to serve as a movement holder.

Excellent research, Kathy. I do have to agree that it be considered as Non-conforming. Since we don't include Westfields in the database, my opinion is it should be entered as a recased quartz Bulova movement - non conforming, noting the unusual and seldom seen apparently Westfield casing. The question now is what date do we assign? If dated by the Bulova component, for consistency I would say tentative 1979 as initially entered?
This is commonly called a drivers watch. Definitely 1930s era. The driver style watch case had several designs and most had articulated lugs and were designed to be worn on the side of the wrist so that the watch could be viewed without removing the hands from the wheel which in those days was important due to the lack of power steering. I have to say this is the first ad I have seen that shows the position on the wrist and is quite a rare find. Well done Kathy. They were made by several case makers who sold the same design to many brands. In the unknowns we have an example of the more common version (linked below) that I have seen exact cases with case stamps for Bulova, Hamilton, Elgin etc. It would not surprise me if a Bulova branded one of these shows up at some point in the future so I would keep this listing just in case. 1939 Non-Conforming would be my vote.
