Timing is everything!

I'm thinking the advert is showing shadowing (or maybe just the angle) and that the case is actually cushioned. The top looks to have a slight curve the same as the sides.

I think this newly discovered Bulova Radcliffe is a match.

Ahh ok now I see that there is indeed two distinct cases as shown in Kathy post, suggesting that the cushion design is still unknown.

we have to be very careful cause all the same ones who has the engraved side have a cushion minute track AND a tonneau minute track. so we got the good name for the subject watch and other "unknown" with engraved side but i think the variation of the engraved ones is due to the year. or some variation like american cliper....

in conclusion, Stephen, if  you look carefuly the subject watch is a mix of the two you showed....... 

Always mystery here.....

So RADCLIFF is the good model but dont know the variant. May i suggest to put all with engrabed side on a generic label till we know more about the variation?
