A pretty nice 48 Cadet...face is a bit dirty but I got a nice case with it
1948 Cadet it is
EDIT: I'll go with the flow and say 1949
Looking at the ads for 1948 the Cadet was a very popular model. I found ads with it engraved and plain case, with this dial and with a different dial with dots 9, 12, 3, and with 15 jewels and 17 jewels.
1948 Bulova Cadet
May be 1949 Bulova Cadet "D", like your another watch
1949 by serial number of the case
Nice ad match jabs. I would agree with that and the date.
1949 Bulova Cadet "D"
Maybe a '49 case but the movement definitely has 48 stamped in it. Early '49 production maybe ?
In reply to Maybe a '49 case but the by brandall54
Yes, early 1949 using a 1948 marked movement.
I'll go along with the 49, I already have a 48 in here anyway lol
