Nice Unknown   Agree on case like Franklin. Wonder if this is one w/ diamonds, or "white stones and simulated rubies" or what ever the verbiage is...

Did they make a Franklin with  jeweled dial?

I don't know Jim, but your watch sure seems to look like "it came that way".  The dial appears to fit the case nicely.

Jim I didn't see a Franklin listed in the period correct Bulova price lists under the diamond dial sections...

The Franklin case will have a 16mm lug width, and the crystal will be around 23.5mm square

Tricky ID on this one, at best I would say Unknown.
