Watch Description

Man oh man have I been waiting to find one of these guys in this shape.

Early Bulova men's watch.  The bezel has very overt rose buds and stems all around.  Green gold in color.  This guy turned 100 years old this year!  

I'm a huge fan...

Closest I can find is maybe the 4556 is green 14K gold filled?

Ad is in the database under 1924

As a point of reference, these ads do not have Bulova model numbers.   The 4556 is the catalog number for the reference book i found these in.  I uploaded several of this Kind catalog listings because they have great photos of early watches but their are no Bulova designations in these ads unfortunately.

That ad is close Plainsmen, but it shows a sub seconds hand.

This looks close but no name or model number.  From 1926.

Hard to tell from the photos but not sure it's green gold? Similar engraving to THIS one but the size is very different. I have not seen an advert for this watch, 1925 Bulova Unknown.
