"There are no markings on the outside of the case. Inside, it is signed 'Bulova' with a serial number, but there is no date stamp."

So, the area that I've circled in red does not look to have anything that looks like a stamp?

I have 2 examples of this watch, one has a 13AH the other a 13AK. 

The 13AH dates to the 1940's, the 13AK to the 1950's 

13AH vs 13AK 

The datecode on the 13 AK I own (L9) was found here:

  • My 13AK L9 model has been identified as the 'AIRCRAFT' per a 1965 linebook entry.
