1935 Bulova 'Alexander' with period link style bracelet. Wonderful original condition on both, very little evidence of wear. I was all ready to enter this watch as a 1935 Alexander when I noticed the minute track is out side the numbers on two ads and inside on one. It looks like the 'dress' dial (applied numbers) has them outside. I'm calling it an Alexander, Other than the engraving, it's a twin to the Senator.

Fine example of the Alexander. Thanks for sharing it with us.
There is a 1933 Princeton (a very close case and dial match) that is 17J and was priced at $37.50, so the subject watch with only 7 jewels would match the Alexander lower price of $24.75
Here is a 15J version for $29.75.
Alexander for me.
Do We have an ad showing the 'ALEXANDER' with only 7 Jewels?
'UNKNOWN' for now.

Mark, no ad that i find from my cellphone w/ jewel match. similar to Alexander other then jewel count, but it's an ad "match" by Stephen's price comparison senerio.
I'd have to say a tentative Alexander based on the ad. ....but unknown is probably a better call w/o an ad....I've mellowed on what ever the "rules" are now.
...and there's no such thing as a three tick unknown......
In reply to Mark, no ad that i find from by William Smith
LOL! I have a lot of "3 tick unknowns" in the database Will!
Welcome Back!
It's a nice watch Geoff...and w/ a great band that seems to match the ad and period. I'd call it Alexander at my house :) ....but I've been worng before
The Case of the subject appears shorter than the 'ALEXANDER' as illustrated.
