Watch Description

I found a 1941 ad here that identifies this Bulova as a “Military Nighthawk”. It’s really clean with some nice 18K on case

Any stamping on the case to indicate it's a Bulova?

Going to suggest that the case is not original to the watch, but a really nice addition and replacement for the original. Very close in design.

Beautiful watch, but I hesitate to give an opinion without seeing the case back.

I just found subject watch listed for sale in ebay. Here is a photo from the ad of case back. Replaced non-Bulova case.

Oh 18K plating...that makes more sense.

Yep agree that the watch as presented in a non-Bulova case unfortunately makes it a non-conforming watch for the sake of our model ID process.

Still a great looking watch, with a great quality Bulova movement.

Old dial / movement in a newer non Bulova case. Non-Conforming, if you're the seller please note so much in your listing. This is not a Bulova watch let alone a military heritage watch, it should not be sold as one.
