I got this out of a 1957 Youngblood's Wholesale Catalog. I forgot I bought the catalog and just recently found it again. (A high res version was sent to Admin for data-basing)
Pretty cool looking at how much a wholesaler got the watch for and then what they charged the consumer!
Also a couple new ID's in here... the "Neptune", Bulova 23 "H", and the "Senator EW".
In reply to Very nice Plains, thanks for by Bob Bruno
Nice find.
'NEPTUNE' is showing a Whale on the Dial.
Whale = certified Waterproof ?
I think We just saw this Watch as an 'UNKNOWN' - minus the Whale insignia.

The "Ashford" is dated to 1951 with a 2 tone dial , sub seconds register and gf case. I'd say the Neptune is a 1957 namechange as the case looks the same, though the dial and hands are different and this has sweep seconds. I don't think the Ashford is waterproof either.That would be enough differences to give it a new name.
