Watch Description

As part of my TimeCapsule-Watch.com personalized wristwatch collection, I acquired a 10kt yellow gold Bulova 15 jewel 10AN movement watch that was presented to Dr. Arnold Zacchino on May 19, 1935. The back case is beautifully engraved, "Presented to ~ Dr. A.A. Zacchino ~ by the ~ Italian Sport Circle ~ May 19 '35".  I will be contacting one of Dr. Zacchino's grandchildren and offering to return it to them at no charge; this is one of my most important TimeCapsule goals. 

It features a sweep-second dial identical to that on the 1930s Bulova NURSE model.  The engraved case is very similar / identical to a 1930s square  STANFORD case (or possibly a Lone Eagle IV case). I could not find any "Physicians" models with a sweep-second dial listed on MyBulova.  I would like your help to identify this model.

Yeah, once upon a time we were told to believe that Bulova issued 2 Lone Eagles in the same year. Thankfully we were eventually able to dismiss this case style as a Lone Eagle and correctly ID as a Bulova Woodside. Watchophilia hasn't been managed for many years so there's a few things out-of-date on that site.
