Yellow gold case with gold numerals on dial. This one was auctioned uncleaned and the case was literally black like heavily tarnished silver.. I assumed it was rose gold and mounted on a yellow band. To my surprise, it polished up as yellow gold and is a perfect color match to the replacement band. Overall super clean and keeping good time. We have only seen 5 of these previous with this dial in yellow gold and have ID'ed them as Brewster....
Last photo below shows the watch as I received it. It was well worth the gamble for $17.50.
Looks like a Brewster to me. Glad the gamble paid off for you!
1943 Bulova Brewster
I'm good with the Brewster ID! Must be stirling silver under that gold?

Case isn't marked inside the back, but based on the "bleed through" tarnish I'm assuming it's plated silver, the same as the rose gold variant.
1943 Bulova Brewster is a good match. Nice job on the restoration.
Neetstuf, if you get some of this stuff and the sonic cleaner this same company makes it will clean up these silver based cases and make them shine like new without polishing and removing any of the gold plating. You can get them both for about a $50 investment at Walmart. But you can do several watches with one bottle. You'll have to re-glue the crystal because it removes to glue also.
