Watch Description

Overall Length: 31.5mm  Case Length: 23mm  Width: 20mm  Inside Lugs: 16mm  Movement Date Code: L1 (1951)  Solid 14KYG  I checked the ads from 1948-1954 and did not see a model that matched. The glass crystal appears to be original as it is faceted to match the case in both directions.  ***UPDATE*** 02-23-2012 - Found RMS 122-72C Bulova "Patriot" crystal info on page 33 of the Rocket #9 crystal catalog. Didn't have the Rocket but did have the G-S equivalent CMX 320-37 and it is a perfect fit.
