I'm quite pleased with this one as it shows literally no wear, runs and keeps time. A little toning on the dial. Rose gold case, crown and ad confirmed original band with a copper exploding dial. I know we have discussed this model at length in the past and I think I can put it to bed. As far as I know, all the rose gold examples of this casing in the database (IDed as generic Senator) have this dial. The only other rose gold Senator (2 tone printed dial) has been ID'ed as "O" variant. I found an ad dated 1944 that seems to ID this watch with this band as
Senator "F" in rose gold and "E" in yellow. I believe this face variant (not shown in ad) is the rose gold option of "harmonizing dial".
Panel?
The way I read that first black and white advert is that both versions are rolled gold plate. One is 14K Rose, the other is 10K Yellow. Both have a SS back. I say this because both are valued at $49.50. I don't read it as 14K solid gold. That's just my interpretation.
The other adverts just help to confuse the matter.
With the various confusing adverts I'd say we skip the variant for now, until we find a 1945 advert showing the 14K Rose rolled gold plate version as a variant. Kathy what year was the $39.75 above advert?
I'd say the dial variant might also come into play.
Typical Bulova...never easy :-)
