I've had this one for some time now. I have it label as either a "Hartley" or "Trident". It can't be both. Maybe neither. It's got a 10k rgp bezel and a stainless back. What do you guys think?
Not a dial/hands match.
This one has been seen before with this dial configuration, and it is several years before the Trident too.

I remember Lisa's process of tentative ID for this model (in Bobbee's link above). The only one listed in G-S 1952 crystal catalog which has not been ID'ed by an actual ad. If I remember correctly (and I have not checked my GS catalog or the Price Lists) there's a chance that some crystal specs note "Bulova" for both Westies and later Caravelle...
I'll check the GS catalog and the earliest "full" (quarterly) price list for the model name "Hartley".
Also checking the earliest date for a Trident Ad showing this case.
