Inside Case Back: Bulova Quality Pat June 10, 1924 0112662 Hinged Case Back w/ dust cover - metal insert for dust cover functions like sizing retainer clip to hold movement in case. Mvnt 4 ADJ 15J
similar to http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1929-patricia-1195 but dials different
closest dial match (exact) is Terry's 1928 at http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1928-patricia-2631
similar to very blurry 1929 ad image - can't guess model name from that ad, but seen in clearer 1929 below
and Patricia from 1928 ad below
First digit of case SN is a zero - but no 1930 ads for Patricia- so I call it a 1929. Had I found a 1930 ad I would have entered the model date as 1930 Patricia just to see what you folks thought.
Thanks Fifth....that 1930 ad musta been too blurry for my eyes..I looked thru em one by one.. I had also tried the beta ad model search for Patricia, and no 1930 ad came up, but it's "in development"
You must really be familiar w/ these ads :) I don't even know how you can paste the ads in the thread this quickly!
I looked thru the 6AF's in the database, trying to see if movement SN would be sequentially higher w/ progressing date symbol (1927 - 1929), thinking if it were, then I could perhaps argue that the mvnt SN on my watch was higher than the other 1929(s) and therefore it was cased/produced later than those examples....to back up the 1930 date from first case SN digit. ....but the movement SN's didn't back this up very well.
The other 1929 had a higher movement SN than mine...and a case SN first digit of 9. O well....I'll leave this as a 1930 anyway cause this first digit of case SN is such a strong pattern and you showed me the 1930 ad.
