O boy!  The dial/hands.  The AAI mvent Bulova W. Co.  The great AS case w/ globe.  



Does this meet the new constraints / ideas on second digit of case SN's correlation for possible dating? ... Wheeee  What fun!!  Nice early Bulova watch Jabs!! 



Similar in many ways to Rev Rob's Lady Maxim w/ AAI ...including similar case serial numbers.

Subject case SN  1069107        Rob's LM case SN  1087567

Subject Mvnt SN       33372        Rob's LM Mvnt SN       31279

Note the slightly different font on both example movements.  I dont know if subject watch is exact match to ads we have, but I'd not lean too heavy on 1922 date of Lady Maxim ad vs the movement/case info for possible production date.  That '22 ad looks to be engraved case.

Tentative Lady Maxim from me.  Now for the production date.....???  1920?  1921?  ..and what was the date of the first ad????  Was this one ever named by a Number before a Name (Lady Maxim). ...and was the unengraved octoganol unengraved ad from 1921?
