1940 rather than 1930 I think.  The 10AE is not around in 1930 and the stainless caseback would be out of place.  I have one just like it with a 10AX and a different but design matching bracelet.

 Thank you not sure how I missed the obvious on that one! As a member of this site once said

"The best way to get the right information on the internet is to post WRONG information"

ha...ha..

It must be true because it is on the internet.

One like it was posted a couple or few months ago and never got an ID.  I have been looking to name mine also but so far no luck.

Signed Case?

5th - this case back is the type the mvmt drops into. It is signed on the outside end adjacent to where the springbar goes through the bracelet - "Bulova Quality" on the opposite end is the s/n.

1943 GS catalog has an MX318-25 20.6x15.6 slightly bent from 12-6, flat 9-3 and names the model as "Winston". No Winstons in ad db nor watch db.
