Watch Description

Here's a 1941 Bulova that I've had for 10 years and haven't been able to identify. It didn't have a seconds hand when I received it because the staff for it was broken off. I just put a new 4th wheel in it and replaced the seconds hand. It probably should have a gold one, but after searching through parts for 2 hours, I found a blue one and used it. It seems to run good but can't vouch for how well it keeps correct time. Sort of looks like the American Eagle but with different lugs.

Wow this is an interesting one.  I don't ever recall seeing this case before.  Unknown for me.

Wow- if I wasn't looking at that caseback (where it says BULOVA) I'd say this was a replacement case but it sure looks legit! 1941 Bulova Unknown.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this one before; but for the life of me I can't find an ad.

Yeah we're at unknown.  I have a buddy has one.  I thought it was an American Eagle that someone cut the top off/bottom lugs.  Nope.. it's legit.
