Watch Description

This is an eBay find.  Pending confirmation I'd say 1938 Rite-Angle.  The case is 10K rolled yellow gold plate. The back has a small dent but overall its in pretty good shape.The watch runs and keeps time.  The 17 J, 8AE movement is consistent with the ad and with the other examples in the database. The date code on the movement is hard to make out on the photo.  It's a half moon near the stem.

I'd love to own one of these oneday...box and all. I think they are one of Bulova's more unique looking watches.

Thanks, guys.  

I'm surprised at how good looking these Rite-Angles are.  There's some wear through on the plate here and there but it really shines otherwise and the shape is certainly unique.  I've been really happy to wear it.
