Here is an extremely rare watch. It is a 1935 Physician (based on prior IDs). I couldn't wait to get it in to see how it was put together. Definitely a project watch for me. it is a two piece white gold filled top and stainless case back. The dial is white with applied yellow gold hour markers with an hour dial and a lower second dial. The movement is a rare 13AB 17 Jewels with a triangle date code. I took the dial off so you can see the hour wheel train. Interesting set up. It has a pressure fit gear on the center wheel then two additional wheels set on applied pinions on the master plate. The movement is in overall OK and complete but is missing the hairspring and has a broken setting lever. Anyone know what the interchangeability of the 13AB movement is? I have a 13AF and was wondering if the balance would fit. I will also need hands.
Did we ever find an ad for this calling it the Physician? I don't know if I've ever seen one.
I think we have this ad calling it thr Bulova "Broker" though. Specifically detailing the twin dial.

Advert shows something similar in nature, but the bezel and dial look to be different.

I get your point. Through the ad is pretty old. I would love to see a high resolution one.

I guess the question still stands, where are we getting the Physician ID for this watch?
To be consistant we have no ads, so we call this the Physician because?
