Art Deco Franklin Bulova 14k White Gold Filled Gents Watch, Serviced, c1928

For your consideration is this fabulously stylish Art Deco Gents manual wrist watch by the American watch company Bulova. This 93 year old Art Deco watch known as the ‘franklin’ and has a rare black dial, with gold numerals with a 14k white gold filled and black enamel infilled casing with a very distinctive Aztec design around the edge . The movement runs on 15 jewel BULOVA 10AN complete with original dust shield. The 10AN movement was made from 1925 to 1937 and this one bears two date stamp codes – 1927 (square) and 1928 (moon). Often see two date codes on vintage Bulova's, which usually occurred if a movement was made between the end of one production year and the start of a new one. The latter 1928 code matches the date of the case. Having just been serviced this watch is keeping very good time, ultrasonically cleaned and with a new good quality soft black leather strap which has been added with a plated buckle to match the casing. The condition is excellent and remarkable for it's 93 age and as good as anyone could hope for.
