1929 Bulova.... two tone Fleetwood.

6 years 5 monthsI am not sure either of these match the Fleetwood. It looks to be a Round the World Case based on an ad I found from 1931. The Fleetwood has no engraving between the lugs but the RTW has engraving as documented in this 1931 ad. Seems slightly different but this could be artistic license.

9 years 1 monthYeah, there is 4 variants of this model. In October 1929, it is introduced as Ambassador in single white gold color without the engraving between the lugs. In December 1929, the Fleetwood is introduced. It is the Ambassador in two-tone and is again shown without the engraving between the lugs. But during 1930, the Ambassador is advertised in the Saturday Evening Post WITH and WITHOUT the engraving between the lugs. Hence you can assume the Fleetwood exists in BOTH versions as well. Unfortunately there is no further ads of Fleetwood during 1930. I would go for Fleetwood in the variant WITH engraving between the lugs, like what we see in Ambassador.
