Watch Description

Gold-filled case.  21 jewels. 7AK.  History is unknown.  Seems like everything works well.  Seems to keeps accurate time.  It looks similar to the "His Excellency" line, but I am unable to find an exact match.

Nice watch, thanks for sharing it. I don't believe we have ever found an ad picturing a white/black His Excellency in this casing, but the ad below confirms color option. Dial font matches ads. Based on case s/n, it is a 1948. Appears to be on the original band.

Thanks! That looks right. The example you found is definitely a match.

A striking watch with the black dial.   I will have to go with generic His Excellency as well.  I am going to change the date to 1948 based on the serial number on the case.

The add confirms also available in Pink and White.   We do not have the variant from an ad so generic 1948 Bulova His Excellency.
