Watch Description

And now is the time on MyBulova when we post a watch I've never ever seen before till now. I think we have a white gold 1937 Minuteman?  Seen maybe hundreds of yellow gold models.  This is a first for me.

Wow that is a rare one.  Can't quite read the variant on the ad but documentation of white gold plate in an ad.

Minute Man "B" is gold/plain with leather strap

Minute Man "C" is gold/plain with bracelet.

Minute MAn "E" is gold.engraved with bracelet

I think it looks like Minute Man (A)....which would be whte/plain with bracelet.

nah, someone spray painted it silver :-)

So using the American Clipper (same time period) as an example we are starting to see a myriad of versions including, white/yellow case, engraved/plain case, white/black dial.

A first see for me, nice score! Based on Stephen's ad, that appears to show engraving (with apparent engraving on band), I'm going to agree.
