Is it not a common train of thought that a vintage Bulova watches movement isn't a good reference to a model, after all we all know that movements were swapped over and re-used or re-issued depending on available stocks by both Bulova themselves and jewellers.

A few things are certain in my mind:

  1. The His and Her Excellency series of watches all had 21 jewelled movements
  2. The Bulova 23 series all has 23....dah! :-)
  3. Certain series we know of were produced and released in batches and contain the same movements.

Whilst it would be nice to think that a movement will always relate to a particular model, other than a few exceptions (and I'm talking 20s, 30s, 40s era) it won't always be the case.
