Watch Description

This Executive case has a JUN.10.1924 patent date. The movement cover is intact and has kept the movement in great shape & it runs strong. In 1925 Bulova changed from model numbers to model names for watches, and model 39723 became the Executive. The cathedral minute hand has been changed to match the ad. Watch has been serviced by a well known guy around here named Admin.

Case Material: 14k Green Gold Fill

Case Dimensions: 24.6mm W x 32.2 Lug to Lug

Good call Mark, Senator.

I disagree. The Senator had wider rows of engraving top and bottom and sides, extending to the case edges. The Executive has a single row horizontally and vertically, with a bare space all the way round.

Also the sub-dial is too large and too high on the Senator. 1926 ad below. Executive.

It appears to show a sub dial because it does have a sub dial in the ad, Mark.
Why upload that cruddy fuzzy pic, when the dial can be seen easily in the ad?
Just confusing, and if you use your mouse, you can expand the ad I posted to see the sub dial quite easily.

Here's a snippet of the Executive and Senator from 1926 ads.
