Case looks to be plated brass, no markings on case back or dial other than 'Bulova'. Strongly resembles some of the military models aleady in the database, but has quite a different dial, and no caseback markings suggesting it's not an issued model.
Watch runs, and keeps good time. Movement does not hack.
The caseback doesn't seem to want to come off, despite my best attempts. if removal is necessary for identification then I shall persevere further.
edit: I've had to guess the manufacture year, as I can't save the watch without one. I have no idea whether my guess is anywhere near true though.
Unknown. Can't be "Military Issue" without correct case back and manufacture date is still unknown.
What about a new "Military A-11" model for those with non-engraved backs that can't be confirmed to have been owned/issued by the military? Or, do we just go with tentative?
In reply to Will - I agree with your by Geoff Baker
Yep - what to do w/o a date? Maybe it will get opened before too long and can be updated? ...We should not have an unknown date for sure- so we do need a year for it to stay in the database. I know there's several watches in DB where folks didn't want to break what ever was left of "waterproof"seal or mess up case to get a movement model and/or jewel count, and sometimes they "guessed" based on other stuff. This is problematic too. I don't like the idea of guessing or "just putting something in there based on an ad" for year of production though. Maybe Admin will have a suggestion for how to proceed.
