In reply to hmm, interesting observation by FifthAvenueRes…
Yea well that's about all I would say about my "observation". I was looking at the other unknown linked above, and subject watch, and though different styles, they both have "some distance" from numerals to bezel opening. I think I also looked through that other unknow thread and saw the ad for the Templan, which is a diff watch, so if I used that ad to make my comments about this dial, it's irrevalent. Subject dial seems to "fit" the case, and if it's not original, it's been in the case for quite a while. I'm saying the dial looks correct to me. We don't have and ad showing any different.
Unknown w/ what looks like an original dial (or an old appropriate replacement).
Although the Dial differs slightly from the first 'UNKNOWN' posted in this thread the Dial itself is different.
Raised Gilt vs Radium.
The database contains a Second identical 'UNKNOWN' also Dated 1931 showing the same Radium type Dial as the subject, http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1931-unknown-2479
Judging by the condition ( I have the Watch in Hand) the Dial is original and correct in the subject Watch.
In reply to With 2 examples it would seem by DarHin
...now i finally see what your talking about. The horizontal parts of the track are "straight" across at the top/bottom vs slightly tonneau like the bezel opening. The numbers are also "straight" across. With a couple/few examples, no biggie, but now I get it - it's more interesting.
I'm just a little slow today......(no comments from the peanut gallery on this being the rule and not todays exception...>)
