Gents,

The case meets Mil specs, the dial is NOS military issue (identicle to the original) the hands meet Mil spec so is not logicle that the watch is a Bulova Military. Even if this is a Ord Dept recased WWII movement, dial and hands we do know that all the parts are Military issue. This could be Korean War re-issue ( meaning a earlier WWII movement and dial re-cased by the Military for use beyond WWII). Just a guess but the evidence to date seems to point in that direction. Regardless, the evidence to date still says "Military". It may not be to the Mil Specs of the A11 or A17 or A3818 but we cannot dismiss the posibility that the ORD dept repaired, recased and re-issued watches back into inventory for further use. Perhaps this a US ORD DEPT frankiniltary.

Still a Military in my mind.
