American Standard Cases Revisited c1919 through c1924 & later

Submitted by William Smith on September 23, 2012 - 8:40pm

I'm curious about is the American Standard cases and their various hallmarks between c1919 to c1924.  Can these case hallmarks help date the movements they contain? Some of our early watches (1921/23)  have been "dated" using the first digit of case serial number. Some have not.  With uncertainty of a firm date when movement signatures change from Bulova W. Co.

Does anyone know the BEST place to get my old set of hands refinished for my 1926 Conqueror listed on the site? The hands can easily be seen in the photo below. They need to be "Re-Blued" and Painted with an orange-color luminicent panit. IDC can re-lum...if someone can emery sand them (or whatever is used when they are rusty) and re-blue them. IDC doen't do a good job as far as I've seen on rusted hands...byr their lum work is usually great! Let me know, please. DW
