Here we go again, a 7Jewel movement in what would seem to be a high end watch of the time period. The watch and Maxim bracelet ironically match the Lone Eagle and the Bernard of this time period, but the 7 jewel throws me. Also... Inside case Serial number 3030829 and the outer case Serial is 226218. Annnnd the movement is dated "square sheild" for 1931. So.... Your guess is as good as mine on a 1931-1933 watch. Thinking maybe the Bernard as the ad doesn't really say the jewels, so if a 7 jewel watch had to have a name I'm think Bernard rather than Lone Eagle or Trident. 😄
I would say that the dial and hands are not original to the watch, as it might be a little late for the radium dial and hands in a 1933 watch. 1931 is close to the final years of use.
The case is a match for the 1933/34 Lone Eagle. It may also be a match for the above Bernard advert. I wish we had a better advert to confirm.
The pricing for the Bernard of $24.75 certainly suggests a 7 jeweled movement. The Lone Eagle uses a 15 jeweled movement and was priced at $39.75.
I would also say that the dial has been cut down to fit the case, as the correct dials have rounded corners and not cut as we see above.
Based on the movement and case combo I would be inclined to go with a Bernard, but throw the dial and hands into the mix and we end up as Non-Conforming I believe.
Non-conforming? A Bulova 10AN dated 1931, in a Bulova 1932 /1933 case I wouldn't say is non-conforming. We leave that for sure enough frankens. Albeit maybe a different BULOVA dial is in there, I still feel this watch is as legit as some others we name that are 3 years off.
