enjoy.
Vert interesting watch. A little difficult to verify since my records only go back to 1919. Sure looks lioke a Bulova to me though.
Mark, wht are the stamped lines around the edge of the case? Looks like 3 6 and seven in roman numerals.
Nice one! I do see those possible Roman numerals on the edge of the case. A very early 17 jewel Bulova. Noting bridge signature doesn't say Bulova W. Co....simply Bulova.
My vote is unknown. I have seen the marks that appear to be roman, on other Bulova movements.
Anyone else notice that the Roman numerals are 763, the same as the last three digits in the case serial #? I'm thinking that the Roman numerals on the case marry the case to the hinged case back. Just like in later cases where we see a similar system for 2 piece cases.

Often seen on early watches and usually means that the movement in the holder goes with the case.
Oh Darren, that is just so well spotted dude!
All you need is the Deerstalker! LOL.

Already have the pipe. Don't want the 7% solution.
Darren,
That's a brilliant observation.
So the Case number is 763, I wonder what's going on with the initial '1' in the stamped sequence inside the back We see so many of ?
Not sure I follow Mark. Are you saying the "1" is seen very often, or, that there's something odd about the actual stamping?
