Treasurer all the way.

I'm going with Treasurer also, but pristine black dials always make me wonder. I'm not one to knock a re-dial, especially if it is good. Regardless, it is a beautiful watch, Mark.

Ya, the Dial is a little too nice to be true, but it matches the condition of the Case and Movement and in looking at the ads I believe the Watch is on its original expansion band which is mint also.

I wont be ripping the Dial off this one anytime soon, new Glass, Service and I can toss it in the sock drawer. So, it will remain a mystery.

 

3 variants of the 'TREASURER' are listed in Wills price sheets.

2 variaties of the 'TREASURER' are described in the ads - One with a Siivered Dial and One a White Dial.

Well done Mark, the ad is pretty grainy but I think you've just shot the Treasurer id all out the window.

No worries Bobbee, a grainy ad is better than none at all. My vote changes to Evening Star as well.

I agree. Evening Star, but I still think the dial is a redial. Black is the most common colour found on redials. The ad or design department at Bulova must have been extremely restless, always looking at rejuvenating existing models with mods, like a dial change or bracelet, etc. I guess it made the brand look even more dynamic than it already was.
