Glad to hear speculations on origin of this piece. It was a 50th anniversary gift to my great aunt.
this advert I also noticed, but it seems that clamp for the bracelet is for MA significantly narrower, moreover subject watch are 14k solid gold, that correspond advert I can not still find
In reply to this advert I also noticed, by jabs
That advertisement is amazingly close! The dial numerals vary also but for sure could be part of Miss America collection style.
Hello wmc533, welcome to myBulova, I like your watch very much. I'm a fan of heirloom watches - especially Bulova. I think you are most fortunate to have this keepsake.
I agree that the case is similar but I don't think it is a Miss America for the resaons Jaroslav points out above. That I know, the Miss America watches were not available in solid gold.
Not having found a advert match I would have to ID this beauty as Unknown. Thanks for sharing it.
Oh, one more thing, the date of this watch should be changed to 1940. The omega code does represent two different years, the style of this watch case is clearly 1940's era.
Nice solid gold Unknown ladies model.
I will also have to go with Unknown at this time.
Revisiting this one in the hope of narrowing down the 'E' in the case serial number.
Here is a 1945 advert which I think shows the watch as a Bulova 'Sandra". (second from left)
Price point suggests a solid gold model.
Good call; if "A" designates 1940 as believed, that would indicate that "E" designates 1944. Ad is dated 1945.
Owner states it was a 50th anniversary gift. It's been 5 years since posting. Chances are not good but it would sure help if owner could provide the year of the anniversary if known..
1944 Sandra
looks like a case, face, jewel count and ad match.
I'm OK with the update = 1944 Bulova Sandra
