Case measures 31.5mm lug to lug x 26mm non inclusive of the Crown using Calipers. White Dial shows luminous Arabic numerals, Bulova signature and tracks are printed in Black. Hour and Minute Hands are luminous and a Modern style Seconds Hand appears on a sub Dial fully obscuring the 6 and encroaching into the 5 and 7 numerals. Snap fit Caseback is Gold and stamped as shown. * Case and Movement matches http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1938-apollo-3056
In the 1940's (post U.S. involvement in WWII) these Radium Dialed 'variants' take on different Names from their Civilian counterparts.
ie: 'PRESIDENT / GENERAL
So which is this?...are We having fun yet?
: )
Always! If it weren't fun, why do it?
heh,
The Dial is identical to the late 20's 'TROJAN' / 'CONQUEROR's ect. Hands are era, barely (?)
Is this 'variant' for real or is it some evil prank ? because it is a very sweet piece....
looks like the real deal, 2 more examples located.
I'm still convinced this is a Apollo. Especially with all the dial variations that have shown up lately.
I agree Bob.
What interests Me are the Hands - possibly the earliest We see this style.
Radium style hands appear in many early Bulova watches, although not depicted in the ads.
Wayne,
Are the Radium Hands original to the 1920's Watch above?
