I'm only assuming it is a 1929 because I didn't see a 1928 (cresent moon)

Dated to 1928, based on the case serial number.

Only advert I can find with a close match to the case shape is this Camelia

1929 vintage Bulova watch advert 

Just found another new advert.

So that would be $547.92 in today's money, and the weekly payment would be the equivalent of $7.31. 

1928 Camelia works for me.
