Note on comment below. Both of the above 9A movements above are marked SWISS just north of the winding wheel on mvt # 74301 below & a bit left of the winding wheel on mvt # 75439.

Perhaps the Movements are numbered by linge as Bulova had more than one facility churning these things out?
Interestingly the 9A is not stamped Swiss nor USA (that I can see at this time) and the seriel number is stamped across the barrel bridge and not curving around the ratchet wheel.
Thinking realistically, how many Watch movements could one facility produce per Day given the manufacturing capabilities of 1926.
* although not of era being discussed the image above shows Bulova's facilities as of 1950?
