I would say this is a model 150 from early 1922 given the shield signature. Is that the number 66 inside that trapezoid next to the word “Swiss” on the movement?

The model #150 was a 'LADY MAXIM'. 

having RUBAIYAT on the dial this is not a 150.

I'd date this Rubaiyat to 1921.

The 150 was a Bulova model not Rubaiyat. I suspect it became the 150 once Bulova dropped the Rubaiyat brand.

I will defer to the experts as these early watches are out of my knowledge base.

I've nominated this watch as 1921 based on the case serial number and shield stamp. I have a large listing of early serial numbers and this fits into the latter part of those numbers, thus 1921.

just to get out of confusion.....

we date the basic aswcc by the second digitand same for those with the globe.....

is those with the shield dated by the first digit ?
