Hi, all.
I'd guess 1929 Lone Eagle.
17J, 10AN movement, which is inconsistent with other Lone Eagles of this period. Case is marked "Bulova Quality" with a patent date of Jan 11, 1927.
I replaced the crystal and re-lumed the hands. Otherwise its as I received it. She runs pretty well.
A Lone Eagle it is!
I read you re-lumed the hands? How do you do that?

Reluming hands is the easy part....the dial is the killer.

Yeah, I could never do the dial. I tried once on an old scratch watch and it was a disaster.
I watched these videos (3 parts) to learn how to do it. Kits with everything you need are available to order online.

Good luck!
That's a keeper Tom, very nice. 1929 Bulova Lone Eagle
(BTW - it's a HE! haha)
That's a nice example. Dial is in great condition if original.

Worth noting that the movement is likely a replacement as these were originally only sold with a 15 jeweled movement.
Very nice
