Bulova 1934 Miss Liberty

Daca102090,

Very nice watch! I love them with the original bands. I too have some that are very small. They must have been for very petit ladies or small teens.

Terry

nice watch is the movement serial number 5144?

1934, based on case serial #, Lady Bulova 3 ticks.

  Incorrect I.D. This is actually the "Miss Liberty" model as shown in this 1934 advert.

Subject watch on it's original band too!

EDIT:- This actually becomes the "Adrienne", with a higher movement jewel count in the first 1936 advert in DB, but for some reason I cannot link or download this ad, it THEN goes on to be re-named "Greta" the same year in another ad! (The bottom ad is from 1934, the top is 1936. Bad downloading from me!)

Sure looks close to the Miss Liberty.  The Lady Bulova ad in root record shows a triangle w/ diamond inside, while the subject watch and ad Bobbee posted above show the four sided area where diamond goes.  Another Miss Liberty here, has this (undated?) ad in the record, but corners in ad below may be a different angel than subject watch?

If you look in the DB at the actual ad "blown up"to full size, the watch and the ID is a lot clearer. I still don't know how to "Zoom in" on a particular watch yet, some day I'll figure it out!

Actual difference can be seen here. Mark's watch in DB is the Lady Bulova we see in the ads.

Triangular diamond setting as opposed to "kite" shape setting on subject watch.

Will, same "lozenge" shape case corners on subject as the Miss Liberty in the ads.

The Movements differ also.

The Watch ID'd as the 'LADY BULOVA', shown by bobbee above has a 3 linge Movement.

The subject has a 4 linge, which would indicate a slightly larger Case.

Any updates?
