Watch Description

This is a 14K white gold watch.  I think it is Gloria.  It is marked 14K GOLD BULOVA on the back and BOLOVA 14K GOLD NEW YORK on the inside of the case.  Very interesting lug design.  When I saw this in a 1948 ad I was hoping I could find one.  Seems to be running well.  Thanks.

That I know of (agreeing with Ken) we don't have any showing variant designation, I'd rather not speculate.

b uyThis looks to be a good match to a 1948 Bulova Gloria.  See the 10 Dec 1948 Muncie Evening Press ad below.
