Couple of variations with this watch that are throwing me off.

  1. 17 jeweled movement.
  2. Dial number combination: 2,4,8,10,12 rather than 3,9,12 as shown in the adverts.
  3. Engraved vs plain. There is one advert showing this case as the Bruce, but with 15J movement and full numbered dial.

This is one of those watches that always throw us a curve ball.

Both the Cadet and Bruce seem to be 15J.

Here is basically the same watch shown in the advert above minus the engraving as the Bruce (V).

1947 Bulova Bruce

 

A 17 jeweled version shown as the Baldwin from 1946. Engraved case with odd numbers....still no match but maybe a variant based on the movement.
