Watch Description

The BULOVA "CONQUEROR," Circa 1939. 17 Rubies, 10 karat YGF (Yellow Gold Filled)  case...I also commented earlier on Mark's recently uploaded (and third variant) on the same general case design theme... And I show cataloged (3) distinct models... that take the same glass, from 1939/40. The "AMERICAN EAGLE:" Models A, B, and C... The "CONQUEROR:" Models A, B & (C) shown here... And the "CAPTAIN:" which I'm now almost certain is the model Mark just acquired... and likely the RARER of the three, since I'd wager it only came with ONE dial variant, vs. 3??? Of course we have no production data... but has anyone else seen either this case/dialed model, or Mark's, before??? SEE LINK:  http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1940-unknown-770 And does anyone have a model "B" American Eagle, with the third style of dial... Or a Conqueror, with either the "A" (white porcelin, black numeral) or "B" (The third style of) dial, most likely shown here??? (i.e. Yellow gold applied numerals, with an off white background.) SEE LINK:  http://www.mybulova.com/node/751 This must be the "C" model... as it sports the same lOOk as the "C" model American Eagle Janet posted, that I have the 1939 vintage ad for... illustrating the "A" & "C" models, ONLY! (i.e. NOT the "B!!!) And I'll of course post more (6) new images, once this watch is redone and therafter listed for sale, by "el-ooose" on eBay, in the future...

1931 Lone Eagle?

Submitted by griemersma on November 16, 2010 - 10:49pm

I just found this forum today, and already I think it has helped me identify my mystery Bulova.  I have had this watch for almost 10 years-- I think I paid $29 for it on eBay!  It has served me well up until just recently-- it is running and stopping.  Anyhow, based on the info here, I believe it is a 1931 Lone Eagle.  Interestingly, it has a 10AN movement that is 21 Jewels-- in my limited experience, the only one I have seen.  Anybody else out there have a 21J 10AN?  The hands are obviously wrong-- I know because I put them on!  Anybody know of a source f

Watch Description

I have none of the information about this watch, movement Symbol, movement model etc.  My father purchased it for my grandmother before he joined the Army.  She passed away several years ago and both my parents have moved in with my sister and my mother gave me the watch.  Would like some information about the watch if possible, value, value when purchased, etc?  I found this picture on this site like the one I have, but the band is a different band, not like the one in the picture, there is no box for it.  I have carried to a jeweler to be cleaned and checked.

1940 Bulova (Previously) Unknown two-toned, 21 jeweled, 10AX Movement *** UPDATED with ID***

Submitted by plainsmen on November 15, 2010 - 8:05pm

I saw one of these on an unknown watch earlier today but for some reason I can't find it again.  Late Uncle Walt's watch if I remember the poster.

Anyway.... it seems as though the case is very similar to my 1940 Surgeon.  I don't have it yet so I can't tell you it's the same yet.

It looks like one of those Ambassador's markings but this one is square.

Anyone have any idea's?

It's date stamped as a 1940 and the case is very similar to my square 1940 Surgeon.

21 jewel, 10AX movement

Photo's of the actual watch in my custody...

Anyone have any idea's as to what this is?
