Watch Description

1934 date is based upon the case serial number and the 6AB movement (1934-35).  For the life of me I can't find a date code on the movement.  Sometimes they are partially hidden under the edge of the sealed case but I can usually find at least a part of one.    The case is marked "Bulova" but its on the top edge and hard to see.  I've supplied a picture.  It has an expansion band that might be original.  The watch runs like a top.  This one could be a challenge.  I've been through the ads a number of times and I've found a couple models that are close but I can't find one that quite fits it.  I'll be interested to see what you guys come up with.

This looks like there is a date code of X (1933) is the center of this photo by the 1 o'clock position near the screw.

I see.  Thanks.  Its tough to pick them up through all of the little scratches sometimes.  They never seem to be as deep as the other markings.

I looked and didn't find a match yet either.  Will keep looking but Unknown for now.

This is one of those models that keeps taunting us to find it's name. I know I've seen it before, but for the life of me cannot find anything on it.

I'm glad it isn't just me.  There are a lot of ads there and I have been known to miss things in there.  I haven't spent as much time with the part ads.  Sometimes the quality of the scans isn't as good.  But I'm looking through them today.

Funily enough I have a close up of the very area where that date mark is.  I wonder if I spotted it when I took the pictures and forgot about it.

Anyway, this 6AB movement is marked as "1934-1935" in the movement range section.  Should that be changed to "1933-1935"?

You may need to take the movement out of its cover in order to see the movement dats code properly.
