Watch Description

Nice 2 tone hinged case showing light high point wear. Hands were replaced and it appears that the dial had the black track and seconds register reprinted at some point in the past. Running a little fast

Looks to me to be a 1931 Sky King.  As seen in this ad dated 1930

The Bulova "Sky King".  One of my favorite watches!

1931 Bulova Sky King with an interesting sub-second dial print. The movement looks very clean and untouched. You can usually tell by the winding stem screw. That's usually mangled. This one looks mint. It's very hard to find a movement in this condition.

Thanks Stephen! The sub-second dial print fascinates me. It's not like any other Sky King in the database but the numbers are a style match to the number font on the dial, which looks original to me.
