Correction to my edit above.
I went to the 1950's decades thread, and saw the 1950 Watertite "E" ad above, but its listed as July 1952. When I check the file name for the 1950 ad snippet above, I didn't see the date in the file name. I'm thinking this is how dates of new ads are getting confused, and conflicts are propagated via repost in the records. In this instance, the ad date may make the difference between the two models.
I had been thinking the Watertite Duo Wind "E" ad/model was a 1951 rename of the earlier 1950 Watertite E, however based on correct dates of ads, it may be the other way around? They both do have the same unique Bulova internal model number.
