Watch Description

The closest match to this model is the Rawlins. The case looks identical. The Rawlins in the database has a different dial with no sub seconds.   A pic of the back shows a stamp of M2 for 1962. No  markings inside the case back.  The movement is a real surprise. A model 8AC with an M1 stamp putting it several years after the range in the database of 49-55.

Mines dated 1962 as well. The id has never been confirmed as there is no ad to substantiate it . If crystal data was used, the ID is useless as the GS CMX324-2C is a perfect fit to this case, is a perfect match to the original ,and it's labeled to be for the Cromwell and Princeton. 1 star for the un-confirmed ID.

1963 ad. Rawlings.

This watch was named for Mr. John L. Rawlings, once the Chief Design ENGINEER for Bulova.

He was a long-time member of the NAWCC, and died in 1989.

He liked to sail in his Chinese Junk, and was a COMMODORE of the Westport MINUTE MAN Yacht Club!

Makes you wonder, yes?
