Case measures 37mm lug to lug x 32mm non inclusive of the Crown using Calipers. Butler finish Dial shows applied Gilt Hour markers, Bulova signature with 'Selfwinding' insignia below are printed in Black. Hour and Minute Hands are Gilt Index style and a Gilt Index Seconds Hand shows on a Cross-Hair sub Dial above the 6. 17 Jewel Swiss Automatic Movement is encompassed by a shock absorbing ring. The Glass is retained by a press fit bezel, Caseback is stamped as shown. Vintage dispaly ad is Dated 1957.
So with the "waterproof" conveniently being an "assumption", can it not be another assumption that it has seventeen jewels? Or that it dates to 1957?
This is the reason I am so strongly against this watch in general, not just that there are differences in the ad and watch, but that "assumptions" were made about this watch that were promoted as facts, as can be seen in the OP's original and subsequent posts.
It should have been deleted, not brought up for an ID review, as it does not conform to current site etiquette, as per discussions regarding lifted pictures, and any lack of info with them, if i recall
correctly.
There has been recent "culls" of some old watches with little or no info, and this should have been included.

Well done, you actually managed to buy it eventually.
It looks like a watertite case, do you have any pics of the actual caseback?
There are still the dial and hand differences, as well as the watch having a narrower bezel than the ad.
Still more differences against the proposed ID than for.
Far more...

Its not a waterproof case bobbee, it the same style as the His Excellency cases of the same period, and they were far from waterproof.
The dial is different, but very similar like maybe a variant...the hands could have been replaced at some point.
I would say it has more going for it as a "tenative" Ambassador than a unknown.
