In reply to Nice ID Will! by mybulova_admin
agreed, identical.
A concrete Date for the vintage advertisement would be nice.
P.S. another consistant I'm noting is that Index (straight) style Hands are always paired with a Dial showing straight 'hashmark'(?) Hour Markers. Alpha style (Arrow) Hands are always paired with the Arrow Head style Hour markers....if Yinz are catching My drift.
Modern with Numerals?
In reply to agreed, identical. A concrete by FifthAvenueRes…
Yes, both dials are identicle with matching hands. I'm not questioning the id on the 54-55 but perhaps on the 53 I have. This is a prime example of why I don't/ and won't rely on crystal specs for an ID. Scott blew alot of smoke and mirrors I think now need be dismissed. Crystal data is unreliable. If you want a pic of the crystal pac I will be happy to post it,
