Watch Description

This is what appears to be a 1936 Phantom.  It has a 6AF movement with dual Square & Triangle date codes.   It has a 10kt white gold filled case with engraving.  It also has the exploding stick hour marker dial without seconds.  I found the following ad that shows the Phantom comes in engraved and plain cases and shows both dial configurations.  I believe this to be a factory configuration.

Another advert example which indicates both white and yellow gold versions. Variant dial, but from above we can see that was normal.

Agree with 1936 Bulova Phantom

Noting engraved case with face variant ad attributed to plain case model.
