We will go by the case date and I would put this one at 1937 but serial number on the case and the little shield by the Bulova which was used in the 30's but we have no idea why.

Lovely engraving on the back, love it!  Now to look for a model.

I believe this watch is a 1937 Bulova Kenmore as seen in the advert below.

15 jewel movement is a match, as is the 10K rolled gold plate case.

Yes - that is a great match! I was surprised that we have two already in the dB. 1937 Bulova Kenmore.

1937 Bulova Kenmore looks to be a good match.    Very unusual rear engraving.   I am sure there is an interesting story on this one.    I don't think I have ever seen add on engraving that was not a name or date.

Apollo is the same basic shape, but lacks the engraving (pattern) around the crystal perimeter.

I'm going to agree with Stephen. Well found! Kenmore is a match
