Here is my Bulova Westover. The case is marked 10K Rolled Gold Plate - Bulova - L1 indicating manufacture of the case in 1951, but the 21 jewel 8C movement shows a later date code indicating that it was probably replaced at some time in the past.
The face has geen restored in black, yellow gold, and rose gold, and the crystal has been replaced. It keeps accurate time for a 60 year old machine. I like to wear this watch on occasions when I wear my tuxedo, because the scalloped case with plain black band looks very formal.
