In reply to Only un-engraved square mens… by mybulova_admin
Diplomat had slightly different shaped lugs. Both Diplomat and Ambassador had a raised 45 degree line at the crystal corners. Ambassador had an engraved case back. This watch isn't a match to either.
It is a dead match to the 1925 Executive by case shape, 2 piece case and case/crystal measurements. Only difference is no engraving.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only square watches yet identified in 1926 or earlier are Diplomat, Ambassador and Executive.
For me, this plus the ad only calling out "hand carved" for solid gold (with no reference to engraving on plated, potentially leaving description as either stamped or not) and the close serial numbers to the only 1925 Executive in the Db is pretty compelling. What is panel consensus?
