The year is probably wrong; the machine would not let me go on without putting something in that block. It is rose gold, 10k, with an Illinois watch co. case. I know the 16mm strap is wrong, but that's what I had available. From what I see on this sight, a 6AF movement seems to be a lady's movement used from 1926-1936, but I see no pictures of anything matching this watch, and it seems too big for a lady's watch. The main spring bridge is badly scratched up, and although the movement caliber is clear enough, the serial number is something like 12338, 12330, or just possibly 1273... I find no date symbol, but under the dial is a mark like an "H" but with ends like cuniform script, not like FHF. After cleaning and lubrication, it is two minutes fast in twenty-four hours. It's really quite beautiful. Can someone help me identify it?
A photo of the movement showing detail would be of great help. Is the movement stamped Bulova? It should have a date code on the back side. I believe the 6AF was a more rectangular movement, not suited for a square case. I find it in the men's Farragut, Conrad and Phantoms of the 1930's, all are rectangular watches. It's a handsome watch and I know I have seen the face before, so finding a date code and verifying movement would be very beneficial to perhaps narrow down what it may have started life as.
Due to the fact it's in a non-Bulova case, we generally classify such watches as "non-conforming", meaning not all Bulova parts. Wear it and enjoy it.
