'SQUADRON' - variant unknown.

Needs a Minute Hand and sub seconds Hand, both can be found.

Take the Watch to a competant Watchmaker and have the movement looked at before investing in anything on the Dial side.

Need any further help just ask.

Squadron case indeed.  Dial is one Bulova used heavily on the President models... but would seem to fit this one as well.  8AE movement was used with the Senator models as well.

In case you're wondering what the original hang tag looks like........

Front side to be revealed at a later date, she's in the shop at this time.

That's right LADIES and gentlemen - another NOS on it's way (in fact there's more than one)

Squadron B - with her back to you.......

I saw 2 of these Squadrons on eBay on my last channel check a few hours ago! Might find out some comparative value etc.

Based on Geoffs N.O.S. aquisition I will go out on a limb and Name the Watch in question

'SQUADRON B'

For future reference If anyone would like to call Me out on a particular topic please do so, don't 'hint' around as We may all learn something from the results.
