Amazing watch, congrats and thanks for sharing it with us. A dazzling 1st for the database. Well done on the ID to both you and Stephen!
1954 Sherwood "B"
My thoughts:
I'm inclined to go with case date. Watch would be considered an unusual one (solid gold) and expensive ($1,300+ today). It was likely produced in low numbers. Case produced in 1954 and was probably a jeweler "special order" when requested by a customer; and assembled fresh from pre-produced inventoried parts stock by Bulova when ordered, rather than languishing in a storeroom or showcase someplace as low sales volume inventory .
Line Book entry is from 1957, which could indicate not production date, but the fact it was still available for sale that year.
