Watch Description
1953 Bulova Seabee (?) in a French case Found this watch in a lot I purchased. I like the larger case (33.5 mm) - as compared to similar, but smaller military issue watches. The case was made by SWARTCHILD, France The watch looks like Seabee, but is all SS and has a screw on case back.

I stand corrected. We have a reference to Swartchild & Co, but it relates to a catalog publication listing various watch models and movements from the mid 1930s.
Based on the non-Bulova case and seeing that all other Seabees had a 'Bulova' stamped case, I now agree that the marrying of the watch with this case makes it non-conforming.
