Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your heirloom watch with us!  We love heirloom watches and personally I think they are worth restoring and getting serviced so you can enjoy them.  

Your watch has a 1947 movement and a 1948 case.  This is very common with Bulova and totally acceptable.  You can look into the cost of getting a nice replacement movement/dial and compare to the cost of getting the dial refinished. 

Your case looks like a His Excellency "GG" like the link about that Bruce gave you.  We haven't found an ad with this dial and this case yet but we have been IDing these by the case for now.  I will vote to keep this one with the rest.
