Date code on movement is M-9, case diameter is 32.5mm
Remember we have the 'tentative' rating on any watch we ID.
As Will said its better to have a watch given a tentative ID rather than add it to the Unknown pile. I agree.
I don't think we have yet to resolve what the Whale logo fully means and how it was used. Seems very randomly, but there must be a pattern or reason for it.
In reply to Yep that's a given, but there by mybulova_admin
Just had a random thought....I wonder if the whale symbol indicates that the particular watch has been tested and certified to a certain depth, say 333ft.
Other Bulova watches claim to be waterproof/resistant, maybe the whale indicated a true water resistant certification. What better symbol to use as an indicator of water resistant to a greater depth than a whale. Sorta makes sence, don't it?
I need to see when the 333ft and 666ft were used on the dial, same time as when the whale logo was used or after they stopped using the whale logo (if they did).
EDIT: changed waterproof to water resistant according to the watch resistant standard classification for watches.
Watch is marked 'Water Resistant"
