Another beauty from 1930, " Conquerer ". Supporting ad snippet dated 1928 . There is a far better 1929 ad that shows case detail far better than this but I still cannot upload photo's unless it's the primaries when adding a watch. Sorry Folks, but enjoy just the same.
Ok it could be 1930. The 0 certainly looks like a mistruck 9 to me. Just me.
See the red circle and how it matches the other nine. Then again it could just be a scratch on the back case or crystal. Closer inspection would say for sure Shawn.
A thought I have is that the Bulova casing department hand stamped the first digit which corresponded to the year of production or assembly. This would explain why we see so many mis-struck first numbers
In reply to 8 or even a 6 from where I'm by FifthAvenueRes…
