Hi PJ,welcome to myBulova. It would be much easier to help you ID your watch if you would post a photo of it completely assembled. Full on front shots work best. Thanks.

Hi Geoff

Sorry about that. Was working on it when snapped the photos and submitted. I will take a better photo once I have the new crystal in, new strap and perhaps refinished dial.

Well done PJ, thanks for the photo update. I'd say it is a Surf King CW too. Will you have the dial refinished?

I originally intended to refinish the dial. However, this is the first watch I've completely overhauled myself and it is kinda sentimental and a testament to my watch repair learning to leave the dial original with a fully serviced movement behind it along with a new crystal and band. 

I've got my 1929 Bulova unknown dial out for refinishing and look forward to seeing it come back. I will post a picture when reassembled. I've never used this dial refinisher so want to see how well the 1929 comes out before sending others.
