Watch Description

This one came with my Miss Liberty, a little added bonus of the purchase.  Interesting that the outside and the inside of the case has a serial number, not sure which to go by.  Stones are all present with one being cracked but still overall in nice condition and the movement is working.  I believe this is a Justine.  The serial number on the movement was very difficult to make out but under a loop I am at either 265367 or 265387.  The two serial numbers on the case are, outside is 214554, inside is 3013875, assuming maybe this was a transition to putting the serial number on the outside of the case.

I say go with the inside case number. Although it does raise the question, why two serial numbers. This period of mid 1930s seems to be the cut over from inside to outside numbering.

1933 Bulova Justine.

A real beauty Kathy - nice snag! 1933 Bulova Justine (I agree with inside case s/n)
