Hello...I am sorry for the aweful pics(I will have to ask my son to take better ones for me)...I was curious about this watch, searching the web and came across this site. I think I found a " 1927 Lone Eagle" but I am not sure.
The pics I have seen look like this watch...The case has "Bulova Quality 14k American Standard Pat Jun 10 1924 7669320" and the works has the following: Bulova 10AN seventeen 17 Jewels Swiss Unadjusted.
Any information you can help with would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
There are two ads from the saturday e.p. that show 14K instead of the usual 18K solid gold.
Personally, I think they are misprints. They are not the earliest ads for the Conqueror by seven or eight months, and there are no other ads for a solid 14K anywhere.
Why no price difference for 18 or 14 carat gold?
Nobody is perfect!

It's my opinion that these original Bulova mat adverts are correct and that Bulova wouldn't make a mistake on these. They would have been checked before going to print in the Saturday Evening Post. One misprint is unlikely, two mat misprints....very unlikely. It looks like Bulova stopped producing men's 18k gold watches (solid and gold filled) at some point on 1926.

...and they musta mis-stamped the hallmark on the subject Conqueror 14k too. Two misprint ads and a mis-stamped hallmark. I'm w/ Admin- those SEP ads were Bulova generated and scrutinized before going to copy.
Interesting though no price difference btwn 14K and 18K ads.
