Yeah right a bezel swap! For what purpose? To make it a 1943 Princeton??? Fifth you are resorting to obsfuscation again. Check the movement, the 1944 Princeton has the same 10AK 21 jewel movement as the Princeton 1943.
The fact that you have an opinion is no reason to doubt what this watch is. The fact that Bulova watches lack documentation gives you the opportunity to Bully Pulpit every watch that gets logged into the database, especially if it doesn't have an ad. Just because you have never seen this watch before, and do not know anything about it does not make it an unknown, except to you. I'll wait for history to prove this watch is a 1943 Bulova Princeton.
If this Watch 'lacks the documentation' to be named when logged in then why log it in under a model name?? To call this a 'PRINCETON' is a guess and not a very god one.
oh wait, it's round and it's Rose Gold therefore it must be a 'PRINCETON'. Hardly.
Where is the documentation for the ID? A very simple Question....as You said Yourself it is 'lacking' any.
'UNKNOWN'
I got one of these 1943 Princeton's too. Logging it in now.... I may reference this post as I search ads and other watches in database. ...and I don't know yet if I'm a gonna call it a princeton or an unknown....now that I know we have ready access to the unknows entered...I'm siding w/ unknown.
I have this same watch with same case. I see no indication it is a Bulova case. It is the same Bulova dial and 21J 10AK movement (mine is 1943), but the case appears to be a non-Bulova make as I can tell (a lot of scratching inside back cover and the back). I'm not even going to use it...if someone wants to buy it feel free to contact me. Rob
I think this is an Unknown model for now. Rob has a similar case that's non-Bulova, however I have the same case marked Bulova entered as an Unknown here. There is a different Princeton record which precedes this record which has some mix-up with photos due to file naming. One of the photos incorrectly connected w/ that other record is the same case as subject watch. Perhaps that's how subject watch was originally named "Princeton"? ...the only other "documentation" naming subject watch Princeton is based on the eBay sellers description of subject watch.
Do we put back in queue as Unknown for current ID publishing process?
....or do we just change the model ID to unknown based on "new info"?
Wayne doesn't seem to "be around" to change the ID. I'm reviewing these possible database corrections very carefully before making these suggestions. I can PM watch owners and wait to see if they like the suggestion, or we can make some reasonable choices and get the database cleaned up without near as much effort.
Thoughts or objections?
In reply to There are no ads to support by FifthAvenueRes…
I have just acquired this model and I am surprised that it has no identity as it is a very distinctive watch. The inside of the case is marked ' Bulova, 14k gold filled, New York ' and the outside of the case is marked ' Bulova, 14k gold filled, number 6031470 '. I assume from this that the case is genuine. The movement is a 10AK , 21 jewel and is marked with a square which I assume is 1946 so later than the model above.
Have looked through the ads but can find no trace of it.
