Watch Description

I haven't been able to find another watch on the site like this one. It may be a variant. I am not sure on work performed on the piece as it was found in a box of old items in my mother's attic. It may have belonged to my grandmother.

What a beauty, thanks for sharing your heirloom. Based on the crescent moon on movement bearing a serial number, paired with a case serial number starting with an "8"; your watch is a 1928.

This ad is from 1927 and shows a different dial. Dial appears to be a match to the case and number font matches ad. It's possible it is original/variant.

1928 Bulova Bernice, noting dial variation from ad and replaced crown.

I will change the date in original info above.

I agree with a 1928 Bulova Bernice model ID. Movement jewel count is also a match (15J). Not finding any advert showing this type of dial on this model, but that's not unusual.
