Case Dimensions 32.40mm x 25.65mm
Case Reads: BULOVA, 14K GOLD FILLED, AMERICAN STANDARD, Pat. JUN.10.1924, 6417438
Underneather the backside of the Balance Wheel the word BREVET (Swiss for Patent) can be seen with the Swiss Squared cross. Next to it strangely, there is a Light House clearly stamped. Anyone know anything about that?
The American Standard case signature and patent date for subject Conqueror are not consistent w/ a 28 case. The "open nine" on the dial (whether original or redialed) is consistent w/ earlier conquerors. Movement serial numbers, both the numbering and style (with the "."s separating thousands place), are consistent w/ earlier 10P mvnts. ...however the first digit of case SN could be a mis-struck 8. Below is a closeup of the SN. There are some slight "issues" because the photo was not taken from directly above the center of the case "straight on".
I'm gonna take a couple other Conqueror?LE case photos and correct for the image displacement, then overlay to be able to "see" how the first digits compare. Overkill, but informative.

Now that we've figured out the "8" vs "6", am I seeing the triangle date symbol on movement.... Admin and I thought we saw it three years ago, near the screw in close-up photo below? Jared didn't see triangle or any date code on movement with watch in hand. And he was looking pretty hard because he saw the Swiss squared cross and mystery light house.
