Watch Description

This is an interesting one. The hinged case contains a 16J 6W movement that is double stamped with a circle over an asterisk. Date stamps were almost impossible to photograph due to the tiny size. Case s/n starts with a "4". It appears this movement is a seldom seen one used for a very short time.

Silver colored face with engraved floral pattern in center and black printed numbers and seconds track.

Overall very nice as seen and mounted on a clean later period "BESST" scissor expansion band that is a comfortable fit on my 7" wrist.

Watch winds, sets and runs but it is quite fast and calls out for service. Not a reliable timekeeper in it's current condition; but well worth mechanically restoring.

Based on date, I would believe this one falls into the time frame of the Bulova "6514", which later became the Pater ..

I'm back and forth on this one. Based on the 1924 date code I've landed on 6513
