Watch Description

This one is interesting in that it has a stainless back and a solid 14K bezel.  Dial is great - I'll just need to change out the crystal.

Can't find an ad, but suspect this is from the original Bulova 30 series, based on date and gold bezel ring.. Seems to be too early to be a Commander.

I don't think we ever matched this one, but in my collection is this fellow.....

Geoff, does this one show "14KT Bezel" on the back?

I would say this is a match to the Bulova 30 'QW', as seen in this '63 ad, which calls for a SS case with 14k bezel. Aside from the hands, the dial looks to be a match also.

I think you nailed it Ken. If everyone agrees, this is a first for the database.

Sure looks like a match to me. Destintive lugs and a spot on description.
