Watch Description

I picked up another "bottlecap" Bulova to add to my extensive collection of this type.  This one is a 1949 His Excellency "JJ" based on the ad.   It is a 10KT yellow gold filled case with a matching case back with a A9 date code.   The movement is a 10BH 21J movement also with an A9 date code.   This is my first bottlecap of this dial with interesting font hour markers.   I originally thought this was a dial swap as I had not seen it before on this model then found this 1949 Mexican ad in the Vintage Ad forums.   I also picked up the exact same watch off of ebay the same week with the same dial.  I will post that one tonight after servicing.

I always say that two of the same watch is better than one.......AKA  'spares' :-)
