I cannot find a date code. The closest thing to a date code I can find is like a capitol D lying on it's back, so it looks like a mound. I cannot find that symbol listed as a date code. I chose 1924 for the manufacture year on this form because an entry is required and that is the patent date but I do not know the actual year of manufacture. On the outer edge of the movement above the largest gear are the words "FIFTEEN JEWELS". There appears to be something written to the left of that but I cannot make it out. On the inside of the case, above what I believe to be the case serial number (8142315) there is another number etched in the metal. It appears that someone scratched it in by hand. I think it is "C6734G" but I may have one or both of the letters at the beginning and end wrong. a line extends from the last letter and loops back to underline the number then curves down, finishing like a J turned backwards and tilted to the right. It kind of resembles the Barbara, but the design on the case is not right. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide with identifying this watch.

Stephen, your thought process is like mine. I agree and say ID as Juno. If a contradicting ad ever surfaces, we can re-evaluate.
1928 Juno for now.

Yes, I am happy to go with this as well. It would not be the first time an ad wasn't exactly correct. One of my watches was like that (the name isn't coming to me) where ads are different to the watch until they change the band and then the engraving in the ad is correct.
1928 Bulova Juno
I can agree to the 1928 JUNO ID.
I want to thank you all for taking the time to determine the ID of this watch. I really appreciate it.

Sometimes it's an easy process, other times a little bit tricky. If an advert presents itself that shows this watch as a different model based on its case engraving we can always revisit.
