Dear Silvercloud, you have a picture of the case signature? Does it contain the globe symbol?

Is it stamped with 20 years or 25 years?

The case is stamped 20 Years.  Also, What is the significance of the name FREY?  Is it the manufacturers name in Switzerland?

Thanks for the update. Yes, Frey was the maker of the blank movement. At that time, Bulova bought from several blank (ebauche) makers in the Bienne area where Bulova had their office. Apart from Frey, they also bought from Revela, Favre, Rihs etc.
