This was a happy little find for me. I prefer collecting models that have ads but made an exception for this beauty.
It is a solid rose gold cocktail watch. It is in excellent condition inside and out. It has a 5AB 17 jewel working movement. Reads Bulova, 14K gold and the serial number on the back of the case. The case is a tapered rectangle with a very unique look. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the case and it was more challenging to open so I am going to leave that out for now. The signed dial is in lovely condition with the four red dots at 12, 3, 6, 9. Thanks for looking : )
For any of you that like comparing sizes and styles of different models. Here it is next to my other cocktail watch.
That is very cool, unfortunately I have no idea what it is. The red dot indices are really unusual, wonder if they are supposed to mimic stones?

Thanks Bob. Yes I don't expect to find an ad so she will probably be an Unknown. I have seen this dial on other cocktail watches with the diamonds and rubies. I would say the red dots are to mimic the rubies most of these had or at least compliment them.
This is a wonderful little watch Kathy, I'm a big fan of rose gold watches and this one is dandy.

Thank you Geoff. Yes I am too, I love anything rose gold from the 40s and this one is a little gem.
Similar to the Bulova Mayflower, minus the rubies. Still looking for these cocktail watches. They didn't get much ad time which is a great shame.
Another unknown cocktail watch :-(

Yes it is a shame, they are so pretty.
