Wayne,
Yep, gets really confusing.
'AIR CLIPPER' ?
Resurrecting this one and will add new images: 17 Jewel self-winder with a sub dial in a waterproof case dated 1957.
go figure
Do We have any ideas on what this one may be yet?
Possibly President "G" or "P", from the ads page 9 image 10. very low res but hands look same ditto case & dial ?
Also poss. recased 1960 Pesident W/ cat-ear lugs, image 12, page 10. Dial, hands and jewel count match.
1956 - '60 'PRESIDENT' was Manual winding.
'AMBASSADOR'
ad Dated 1957 http://www.mybulova.com/sites/default/files/uploaded_photos/user498/Alt…
Watch ID to be reviewed in light of new ad linked above.
Looks like it matches the 1957 Ambassador "K" ad to me.
No inner minutes track in the ad.
Does not quite match.
Yea I saw that, but didn't know if the inner minute track would necessarily hamper a tentative ID based on other factors.... I'm still good with 1957 Ambassador, and would be good w/ a "K" since it's the closest ad we have for most attributes of the watch. Could be something other than the "K" but we don't have conflicting ads stating otherwise .... I don't think we do?
