Does anyone know anything about a Rubaiyat hinged lapel/wristwatch? It has Bulova movement, labeled 15 jewels, Swiss, American Standard, Warranted 25 years, Bulova W Co., has the number 1013447 on the case. Would like to know how old it is and how much it is worth. Any info would be appreciated. Thank You. | |||

Hi Carl, Due to the recent interest in Bulova and Steve Ollman's website http://www.mybulova.com/ , I've been refamiliarizing myself with my Bulova material and movements. I have started keeping track of movements that have serial nos. under 100,000. One of these mov'ts I have is signed Rubaiyat on the dial. It is an uncased example. In a book I have on trademarks written by Kathleen Pritchard, I found that "Rubaiyat" was copyrighted by Bulova back in the 1920's(if I am remembering correctly). Does your watch have a serial number on the movement? -Cort | ||||

Thank you for your help. There are no numbers anywhere other than on the case. I know nothing about the watch so any help is appreciated. | ||||

The title reminds me of that famous verse from another Rubaiyat --- "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. -- The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam | |||
