In rough shape, but the Templar is scarce & worth restoration.
In reply to Nice watch but I don't think by vintagebulova.com
I agree Jay. The mercury appears to have streamlined short 'solid lugs' and the subject watch has lower set soldered lugs by the looks of it

Side-by-side comparison with Lisa's Mercury look like the same lug design, miter corners, same angles, etc.
I can't load pictures to any comments block or I would show the compare pics.
What would you suggest it is other than a Mercury?

Yes, they are both the same, neither matches the ad. I have no idea what it is.

So what we have here is two watches that don't agree with the ad. I don't see another Bulova tonneau with the shape of the Mercury in any of the ads. I have added a picture with the ad watch in the vertcal position that may enhance recognition. Ya recon the ad could be inaccurate?
'TEMPLAR' without doubt a 100% match.
'TEMPLAR' Wayne, not 'TEMPLAN'
lol
I changed it 3 times, it didn't take!
takes a while.
3 Stars.
The case serial no. would date this watch to 1929, and as such would be the "Templan" as in the 1929 ads and the watch name DB.
