1921 Lady Maxim
1921 because:
- Case signed "American Standard" with globe symbol
- Case description of "Warranted 25 Years" include "Monogram Quality"
- Movement signed "Bulova W. Co." and also include a number within a trapezoid shaped box. The number appears to have no date correlation
- Dial unsigned
- Movement has a caliber designation "A" movement
- Movement has serial number
- No movement date code
- Case serial number begins with "10"
- Crown at the 12 pocket watches position
- Set of Roman numerals on the edge of the movement holder, these numbers match the first digits of the case serial number, you know that the movement and case were intended to go together
Agree that she's a Lady Maxim. I've always been a bit confused by the dating of these "pre date code" watches so I'll go along with the suggestion Jaroslav has made here. I'm curious about these serial numbers with periods in them, did we ever track that down?
Very nice LM
Good arugments in root record Jaroslav.
Lady Maxim. 1921 date works for me.
Goeff- Don't know anything "new" about mvnt SN's with periods. Actually I don't know anything "old" about them either, short of seeing them in early movements.
What's nice about this watch is the dated inscription which provides us with a date for the serial number and case engraving style. 15 June 1921.
Agree with a 1921 Bulova Lady Maxim.
The case shape for this watch should be listed as octagonal.
FLAG !!!
By case s/n this one should be a 1920.

How so? Case sn begins with a 1 which would mean the year ends in 1 by the Bulova dating system. Unless American Standard used a different system.
second digits for the year.... around 1925 the dating change for the first digit.
