This is what looks like a 1928 Conqueror. It has a Bulova 10AN movement with a crescent moon date code. The crown has been replaced and I am not sure if the hands are original as I believe they are supposed to be rounded cathedral hands. The watch runs when laid upside down but stops when turned over. Must have a bad upper balance jewel.
A Nice Conqueror!
1928 Bulova Conqueror, nice one
Very nice one Jim. I like the hands even if they aren't original.

Cool watch! Looks pretty clean

noting hand variation and replaced crown.
1928 Bulova Conqueror - a nice one too.
Probably a broken upper balance pivot.
1928 Conquerer.
Like an idoit I left this watch in my pocket after going downstairs to post this and forgot to take it out. It went thru the washer and driver. :( Big bummer. Lost most of the lume and second hand as wells a breaking the balance. Suprisingly no rust. I just hope the radium washed out in the drain. Very stupid thing to do on a beautifully preserved watch.

Oh so sorry to hear that Jim, yes big bummer : (
I know nothing about how the radium works in this case but I would rewash the clothes if it were me at the very least.

Ouch!!
You shoudl still be able to recover if you can get your hands on a working 10AN movement and/or balance.
I agree with Kathy.....I'd probably rewash the clothes a few times :-)
