Bulova Geraldine
CASE: 14K gold filled. Pat. 1924
Very nice early watch. 1928 Bulova Geraldine. I noticed that all of the examples we have show an oval engraved center while the ad shows flat topped oval center. Just an observation.

A rounded engraved dial makes more sense for this model and others that have a rounded bezel face.
There is also the 1928 Bulova Roberta model which does have the rounded engraved dial. We have a number of adverts which all show this watch with a filigree bracelet, so I wonder if that is the element that determines the model.

Dear Jose Serra, your watch is the Roberta. That is purely a name change when this watch changed name from Geraldine in 1927 to Roberta in 1928, the year of your watch. Note that the movement serial recorded above is missing the 5th digit, a 4.

Estamos sempre a aprender com os vossos comentários sempre importantes. Muito obrigado Alex.
Movement serial number updated.
I missed the date change to Roberta. Those pre 1930 watches are tricky. Great we have Alex who literally wrote the book on these as a panel member. 1928 Bulova Roberta.
