Hi everyone. I've purchase this beautiful watch a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't identify it. I've searched everywhere but nothing. Any suggestion?
1962, 10k G.F., demaged Speidel band, no crystal , Bulova signed Crow.
This is a pretty watch. I corrected the date, it is 1952 for L2. I thought it was a Dolly Madison "E" but the movement is different so still searching.

Thank you. Yes, 1952, my bad. I've also thought about the Dolly Madison, but it didn't convinced me. I'm still searching. Thank again
Curious as to what others think about the yellow gold tone dial in a white gold tone case? I would have expected white with white.
Has that Bulova 'Dolly Madison' vide about it, not haven't found a match yet.

It has a white crown but my first thought was maybe it was a replacement. The Academy Award "PP" has a similar white gold case with yellow gold dial as do a few other AA and AG I have. Maybe an early 1950s thing.

I wonder the same, it just doesn't look right. I'm at 1952 Bulova Unknown
I think we can ID on the case alone, once we find a match. Unknown for now though.
Since the dial doesn't quite look right and may be a replacement maybe it is the Dolly Madison "E"??
I think you're on to something Kathy. I can go for Dolly Madison
Interesting the Dolly Madison H has the same dial but in a square case. Could be a swap.
I looked quite a bit for this one, and tend to agree with ID based on case,
Subject watch sports a 17J movement and Dolly Madison's are advertised as 21J. It likely started out like Kathy notes, as an "E".
My first inclination was to tag it as "non-conforming" / possible marriage, but this case appears to be a "stand alone" casing, used only for the Dolly Madison "E", and isn't currently represented in the database. Based on that, I would be open to ID'ing it as
Dolly Madison "E", noting the movement/dial discrepancy.
