For your consideration I offer this marvellous looking survivor from the mid-1920s’, it is a men’s 1925 vintage BULOVA ‘Ambassador’ model finished in yellow gold fill.

 

The Bulova signed CASE is finished in Gold Fill as confirmed by the stamped details on the inside of the hinged case back alongside the signature, the legend ‘American Standard and the serial number 5218188, the case back snaps shut securely. The square shaped case measures approx. 26mm excluding the crown and 32mm lug tip to tip and unusually for the period is finished in yellow gold as opposed to white gold that is much more common in the 1920s. To confirm its authenticity it is detailed with the Bulova Hallmark pattern to the case sides. The case back is clear of any inscriptions and has the Bulova detailing around the outside creating a cartouche to enclose a set of initials etc.

The signed DIAL is finished in matt silver and is furnished with filled ‘Radium’ style numeral hour markers, a black inner minute track with sub seconds dial at the 6 position and signature below the 12. The hour and the minute hands are in the ‘Cathedral’ style complemented by a blue steel sweeping action seconds hand.

The signed MOVEMENT is a mechanical calibre 10a unit currently running fine on its 17 jewels, it winds and sets correctly and is stamped with the date code symbol for 1925 and the serial number 134640.

The CRYSTAL is a curved replacement acrylic unit.

The attached BAND is a black genuine leather strap with a maximum fit length of 8 inches.

IF YOU WANT A "SET IT AND FORGET IT" WATCH THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU---If You Want a Beautiful Antique, Something Unique, the Pride and Craftsmanship of its makers, Something You Will Treasure as a Keepsake or as a highly collectable investment, Then These Definitely Are For You.


From Wikipedia Encyclopaedia: - Mechanical watches are not as accurate as modern quartz watches. They are now worn more for their aesthetic attributes, as a piece of jewellery and as a statement of one’s personal style, than for their timekeeping abilities.


Vintage manual wind watches


Vintage and antique watches are collectibles. Mechanical movements need manual wind up DAILY to run.
Many vintage watches do not keep accurate time and may have slower or faster minutes differences compared to modern quartz watches (usually accurate). Described as "working" means: - Watches were tested during several hours for running condition. However, accuracy is NOT guaranteed, even if most watches have a good performance considering their age. Some may need professional cleaning and time adjusting to be more accurate.


 


As a verified PayPal and eBay member it is my aim to provide a 5 star service which I hope that will return a 5 star rating in all feedback categories. Such feedback is vital for any seller but more so for a new one. Returns are accepted if the item has been grossly misrepresented and then following notification within 24hrs of receipt - return shipping is at buyer’s expense and must be returned to me in the same condition as posted outward.


The description that I offer is to the best of my knowledge and as honest as possible.


You are entering a contract to purchase and as previously stated I will consider returns for a grossly misrepresented description. I strive to make my customers happy with their item.


REFUNDS are for the item and return postage is at the buyer’s expense. Please be aware that these watches are from a private collection and NOT out of a jewellers' shop window!! I am a collector NOT a dealer and I am just moving some of my collection onward, so consequently an accurate running watch is not vital, but, a running watch is essential accuracy is a bonus.


Payment is expected within 72hrs of the sale ending and I would appreciate contact within that period.

Please Remember


The listing refers to a manual winding wrist watch movement, accuracy can vary due to the vintage nature of these watches.


If consistent accuracy is required then the purchase of a battery operated quartz movement is advised. Any reference to accuracy generally refers to prior to and during the listing process; handling within the postal system is beyond my control and could result in a mechanical watch needing to be regulated.
