Hello everyone! Adding another Bulova to the database. I'm thinking it is a 1939 Frances, it seems to be a pretty good match to the ad. Movement is a crescent moon putting it at 1938 and case begins with nine so I am assuming 1939. I believe band could be original. Looking to see what you all think! Thanks!
Very attractive watch. The case, movement and band do appear to be Frances, but the face doesn't match the 1939 ad. I find one similar casing in the database, a 1937 Catherine. That one appears to be the same minus the engraving. That dial matches your watch.
I am wondering if the dial might be a transplant or perhaps both dials were used in Frances. That being said, based on the fact we don't have a Frances in the database and the engraved case seems to be unique to the name; I don't personally have a problem with an ID of
1939 Frances, noting the dial difference.
