New newspaper ads for 1932/33 Lone Eagle resembling an engraved version of 1932/33 Trident

Submitted by William Smith on

Several recent ads have become available showing a Lone Eagle looking very much like the engraved Trident ads of the same period.  One 1932 ad also shows an unengraved Lone Eagle - looking even more similar to the Trident ads of this period.  

Bulova: Finding Answers, by Lisa Lawrence Andrew in NAWCC Bulletin

Submitted by William Smith on

Congratulations to Lisa Andrew on her recently published article in the Jan/Feb 2013 edition of the NAWCC Watch and Clock Bulletin.  Her article, "Bulova: Finding Answers" is a great summary of the current status of our quest for Bulova answers, and a very nice summary of the utility of both her website http://www.watchophilia.com/ and MyBulova.com. 


1950 His Excellency XX "Kansas Relay" Watch & History

Submitted by plainsmen on

I recently came across this watch with an unusual dial.  My curiosity piqued, I found some great information about the Track & Field events at the University of Kansas called the "Kansas Relays".  It's an interesting read.  Though I haven't found anything about the Bulova connection as of yet, what I assume is this watch was given as a momento to someone involved with the games.  I'd be very curious to find out just how it's tied in.  Was it just to the winners?  Was it to the coach?

Comments and other adverts welcome. The idea is to see if the names were assigned against a year or region.
