I purchased this one as a "what the heck is that". Case is a match to Craftsman "C" and dial is an almost match to Beau Brummell "P" except the markers are silver instead of yellow. I find nothing like it in the database.
My wife just did a "deep dig" on the internet and found 2 more that were sold off private sites and are yellow gold plate with white dials. Both dated 1955 with 17J 8AC movements dated 1952.
Whatzit?

I have one of these that I purchased in 2022 as part of a job lot that in my notes at the time I had said it looked like a Craftsman case with a BB P dial and labelled it non-conforming as it also had a 1955 case with a 1952 (8AC) movement so I assumed it was kluged together. Maybe not! Mine was not purchased from ebay and came with several other Bulova's, so it isn't the watch in the ebay ad you posted. Also, the seconds hand in the ebay auction you posted looks too long and not correct. It is interesting that they both have a 1955 case with a 1952 movement.
