Additional Information
1927 Bulova Curtis 17J 9AN with Square date code, refinished & relumed Butler dial with refinished Cathedral hands. 14 K White Gold filled hinged case with a NOS 12K Gold filled Handi-fold rolled edge mesh band. The movement has been completely gone through with many new parts including a new mainspring.
I received this as a Christmas gift last year (2010) with a bunch of other vintage Bulova parts watches, and finally finished it up today installing the new band...Oh well, some things take time...
**Update 9-9-12 Resubmitted to the panel for name correction to "President Madison" due to new ad found by Mark (FifthAvenueRestoration).
The new ad is very hard to read, but the watch pictured looks like a match.
**Update 9-14-12 Model year changed to case serial number date.






Yes, Fifth, the lid is off.
I mentioned last week that the only evidence we have for the Curtis model name is the Price Guide, which you guys claim to not trust. No one seemed concerned about that. So, the Guide is good enough for the Curtis, but not good enough for my "Ambassador"? The Price Guide is also the only source we have for the Athlete, which I also pointed out last week, and got no response. What's up, guys? Does consistency have no place in watch model identification? Some days you feel like trusting the Guide, some days you don't?
Here is one of the band in all its NOS glory
