One day we will ID this bugger. This one tends to show its face every so often and has yet to be tagged.

First digit of case serial number suggests 1931 date.

Possible candiate model identification as the Bulova Chesterfield. This might have been around for a few years, thus the change over in dial style that happened around 1930/1931.

I'm not sure I see where the gold strip is on the advert watch?

Interesting. Ad states white and natural gold combined - but it appears that in ad the engraved stripe is right next to the crystal and doesn't appear to be on top and bottom sides of dial. A good thought, but I don't think it's a match.
