Watch Description

This appears to be a 1937 Bulova Biarritz.   The case is a 10KT Yellow Gold Filled case and case back.  It has a curvex style case with engraving that shadows the crystal only (unique to this model) and the lugs are notched at the case.  The dial is white with very thin applied hour markers and no sub seconds.  The movement is a 6AM 17Jewels and a T date code.  Has a wonderful Stonewall USA gold filled beads of rice bracelet (that fits!!) that just might be original based on the following 1938 ad.

I agree, it's a 

1937 Bulova Biarritz

Looking at this full ad, I suspect the band is a replacement - links appear much smaller on subject watch's band. No matter, it's pleasing to the eye and fits  :o)
