This looks to be a 1946 Bulova Andrew.

It is a little tricky to tell without a front-on picture, but I suspect you are correct Jim. Slight variation in the dial, but everything looks about right for a Bulova Andrew.

I think it's the Andrew also. The dial has a little "v" notch in it, an indication that it's been refinished. Have no idea who did the refinishing of it but what appears as a scratch on the dial between "2" and "3" is actually something in the dial paint. The paint on the dial has a finish as smooth as glass. I think maybe the dial was polished after painting and that flaw showed up after the polishing.

The dial variation initially threw me off too but I'm OK with 1946 Bulova Andrew. Case is a match

The ones already posted on the site have dials both ways, like the one in the ad and like the one on mine. Could it be that Bulova made them both ways?

1946 Andrew works for me, noting likely refinished dial.
