Hi all I've just received this nice little watch, but im having difficulty in identifying it. I think it may be a Clinton but the ones on the site have different movements to the one i have also there seems to be a number of differing names for this case depending on the year of manufacture. I would greatly appreciate any help members could give me in determining which model it actually is. It is a nice clean watch running well and with very little patina on the dial. It came complete with a genuine bulova brown leather strap which i think is of the same vintage as the watch . Crystal is glass The case is yellow Gold plated marked 10k rolled gold plate and the serial number is 9406888
Kind regards to all donegd
Hi plainsman
This one is not for sale it goes in my collection when l get the second one which according to the date 1946 looks like it is a KickerBocker l might sell that one. Why l asked for a concensus was l am trying to write up a detail log of the watches l now have.
Gives me something to do on a cold Sunday afternoon and keeps me off ebay for a while, as my wife is complaining at the amount of money l am spending on watches of late :-) Regards
George
In reply to Hi plainsman This one is not by donegd
I realise just how difficult it is to identify certain models now as i have just found another one which looks exactly the same in the, site listings 1942 Rockland .
I was wondering if it was maybe certain retail outlets sold some watches renaming them, I know some large retailers do that now selling them under there own banner.

I really don't know where he got that name from in this thread below.

Never seen an ad for a Rockland, despite multiple searches online for this name. The only Rockland I found is for an Illinois pocket watch!
