Watch Description

Juat a really pristine watch.  Almost looks NOS to me.  Sporting a Maxim braclet that I believe hasn't been off the watch and looks new as well.

Interestingly... a 7 Jewel Treasurer?

Weirdly in that early 30's area we've seen several watches show up the 7 jewel.  I think this guy goes together or at least they got the perfect match with the square shield stamped.

I'd call this one a Treasurer - looks to be in pretty nice condition.

That is a beauty!  I am good with Treasurer.

1931 Treasurer - I wonder if perhaps Bulova downgraded the movement to stimulate sales at a lower price point due to the Depression.
