This one is a bit of an enigma. I purchased it from an antiques mall in Summerville SC for $175. Everything I can find about it suggest a 1947 Craftsman or Tuxedo. The inscription on the back reads FROM DAD TO SON - 1943 TO SON - 1968. The band is labeled Speidle. 14k Gold, fairly heavy. Solid gold back with Bulova New York on the inside. Not sure if the band is original. USA Movement. Wants to run, but is in line for servicing.

This one also came with a dark purple case that I neglected to mention. I will post pictures soon. I believe it is one of the first cases I have personally noticed. I'm sure I have missed models I wasn't familiar with in my travels. Investigating my watches has introduced me to quite a few models I would have over looked.
