Watch Description

This is my first of several watches and I am not particulary computer or watch savy. I think that all details can be seen in the photos. I found a 1930 ad on the mybulova.com website that has a Conrad that looks a lot like this watch. The movement has a clear plastic window covering it held by a retainer ring that snaps into place. Image 4 shows the movement without the plastic and Image 5 shows the movement with the plastic (yellowed from age). Happy to send more infor and looking forward to the ID.  

Thanks,  John

At this time I don't John. The fellow that was doing my repairs is not taking ANY new work right now, he says he's 3-4 months behind, sorry.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing it with us. Based on my research as well as all others presented, I agree with the identification of 

1931 Bertram.

On the subject of refinishing dials; I am a bit of a purist. If it's not unreadable ugly, I leave it alone. It's 90 years old and looks really good for it's age. I let them wear their age with pride :o)

My final question - can you change the date that I incorrectly entered as 1930 to 1931?

Thank you. On to my next watch.
