Possible 1945 Bulova Bruce "B" (red, rose) gold version. The dial looks redone and the hands are not original but from the early 1920s (I suspect).
or 1945 Bulova Cadet "B" (red, rose). Although adverts I'm finding for the Cadet are 1945 & 1946.
UPDATE: Both these adverts mention/show the Bruce as having 'black numbers gilt dots' on the dial. 1946 Bruce, 1946 Bruce
Perhaps this is the key difference.
I'm currently sitting at a 1945 Bulova Cadet "B"
Thanks for the info. The marking on the movement suggest 1944 manufacture (circle) but the serial number on back are more likely 1945 correct? If so, it would seem to be more likely Bulova Cadet B?
Any idea where or how to find a replacement crystal for this? The crystal that is in there has a different measurement than the space /slot in the case. I cant find any part number anywhere on web for a Cadet B :(

I think Cadet looks like a good ID based on those ads.
1945 Bulova Cadet "B"
By dates, it looks like the closest match is Cadet "B", noting likely dial refinish and earlier period hands.
I agree that the hands are not original but look fine, they are of a similar style to original. Based on serial number I would also ID as 1945 Bulova Cadet B
