Movement purchased Oct 2014.

Bulova W. Co.,  AAI,  17 Jewels, 3 Adj., Serial #15398, appears to be a "13" engraved as well (see pic).

Now to find a period case to go with it.

Anyone notice the difference between the three 15 jewel movements and the seventeen jewel one?

Not just the bridges (which is just a design difference), but the whole movement looks different.

Rob?

You're right, completely different. Fascinating!
