Kathy, that is an outstanding mybulova milestone find! As per our previous discussion about the significance of this watch, I'm in agreement with Stephen. This watch is an important step in understanding the early serial numbers and American Standard Globe vs Shield marks; and how they relate to date. Engraving verifies it is without a doubt pre 1922 - plus S/N starting with "10", is a 1920 or 1921. If these early beauties indeed follow the premise that first or second S/N digit is date, starting with "10" is either 1920 or 1921.
Let the research begin :o) I'm in complete agreement
1921 Lady Maxim for now with the possibility of revising to 1920 in the future.
