Watch Description

Raised Gilt Arabic numerals and Bulova logo on White dial with Black printed tracks. Curved 10K gold filled case and back measuring 48mm lug to lug x 22mm wide excluding crown. The 21 Jewel 7AH movement appears to have a double strike 1937/1938.  There is a 7 digit serial number on the outside:  7751159. Cannot find a reference ad. Looks close to an “unfancy” (unengraved) Broadcaster. Unsure if this is authentic, a Frankenstein, or maybe rare?

Merlynda - can you supply a photo of the top of the case showing where the wire lugs are attached? I kinda wonder if what Jim is suggesting might be the case.

Team - I think Jim is spot on, this is a 1937 Bulova Broadcaster that has a replacement wire lug, which, in and of itself is genius.

GREAT catch Jim!
