Hi Tkkelly and welcome to mybulova. I agree, your watch is a 1949 Bruce as shown in this ad from 1950. Strap is not a match to the ad, so is a replacement, as the ad calls out band description as "stitched". I like it though, it looks good on the watch and is a high quality band. We see very few additions to the site from this time period on original leather, as it wore out.
1949 Bulova Bruce - based on the assumption the movement is a 15J as stated in advert.
