Watch Description

I found this in a pile of non-working watches I've had for a while and didn't realise we don't actually have an example in the database.

Looking for a 1947 6AH donor movement with working balance wheel in order to restore.

1948 advert showing this as a Bulova Du Barry.

Rolled gold plate bezel with stainless steel back, mark BULOVA and the serial number H189296. (H = 1947)

Adverts confirming a Bulova Du Barry, including a flong whowing better detail that matches the watch bezel styling.

In the 1940s ads section. Merc posted it back in February this year.

1947 Bulova DuBarry is a match.   Great find and you didn't have to look that far for it.
