Guys, take a lookon the link above at Waynes 1939 Ambassador C and one I had....on first glance they look the same but then look closer and you'll see the lugs are different, the curve/"fatness" are different. one has a 7AP 21j the other has a 10 calibre 21j?  

Is one not an Ambassador?

Unknown Square Dial.... UPDATED with variant natural gold case.

Don't know this watch... very cool looking rose gold case with a matching rose gold bracelet.

At first I thought it was somewhat like the surgeon/blackhawk case as it's around the same size and square but this dial is extremely flat with no convex at all.

Don't know if that '45 stamp is factory but it's very close... if it's hand stamped it was done really well.

Hi, wonder if any you guys can help me.  I have a ladies  bulova cocktail watch from 1924.  It was working perfectly until the other day when it suddenly stopped. I took it to a very well know and reputable jewellers who fell in love with it.  Anyway,  what i wanted to ask is can anyone give me anymore information re- this being the first introduction of ladies watches by the Bulova company?

I have recently become a owner of a Bulova watch and am unsure of its name or value. I have been searching and can not find the model of it or any pictures of it except one like this. There are minor differences, mine is gold and with a gold band, i am almost certain the band is a bulova but not correct for the watch.
