Watch Description

Thought I would show you one of my Wife's Watches, I thought it might be a model 156 but I can't match the engraving in any of the Advert's.  The case measures 24.70mmx24.70mm not counting the lugs or crown, measures 28.40 lug to lug.

On the dial if you look sideways in a bright light with a loupe you can see a verry faint impresion of the word Bulova. We have had it for years, runs great. I would like to find a period band for it if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks, Dennis

I would like to suggest we change this watch to the 956 based on this discussion https://www.mybulova.com/watches/1923-956-12665.  I think it would be good to keep them together and that seems to fit best of the two.  What say you panel?

Agreed. Based on the discussion with ads Kathy references, in 1922, this was 

Bulova 956.

Bob - Kathy, having seen Alex's explanation we should of the difference between the 156 and the 956 we should leave this one where it is?
