Dial: Bulova, raised gilt Arabic numerals, recessed subsecond w/ black printed track inner minute track and subsecond track, stamped SWISS (open nine)
Movement: 9A 17 jewel Unadjusted Bulova Watch Co. SWISS (SN) 80966 Triangle date symbol 1926
Outside Case Back: not marked
Inside Case Back: Bulova Quality Pat. Jan 11, 1927 2017410
Case measures 36.4mm x 24.4mm (not counting crown).
Kinda looks looks like one of those single hinged "flip backs" where you could put a photograph inside. The gold content is not marked. Case SN suggests 1932. 9A movement w/ 17 jewels in database as 1926, w/ a 15 jewel example in 1925. The movement serial number can be read upside down as 99608, but I'm assuming it was stamped in same orientation as other lettering.
'32 President with a '26 movement?

...and a 1927ish dial? I thought Pres too, but the hing back has an interesting recessed area like those flip-back photo holders.... The open nine occurred till a later date in this shape, so 1932 w/ 26 movement may be correct.
Case is 1932 'PRESIDENT'

The 9A Movement is found in 2 'PRESIDENT's in the current Watch database, dated 1925 and 1926.
