Sorry, I don't know watches. I don't know the answers to some questions. I would like to identify the model name and year of manufacture.
Welcome to myBulova and thanks for sharing your watch with us. Your watch is most likely from the 1940's. However it is what we call a Non-Conforming model because the case is not a Bulova case so the watch is not all Bulova. In this case we can not identify a model for you and call it Non-Conforming. The rose gold would indicate the 1940's. It is a pretty watch all the same.
Non-Conforming
Hello
I was at the watchmaker's today. I have a photo of the movement. The watchmaker said it was a company: FHF model: Aurora. Year of production 1949-1951. You have that opinion too? Why are such watches produced - not original / non cinforming. What is the history of the production of such watches - non conforming?

Hi LUGOR. Maybe I can answer one of your questions. "Why are such watches produced?" It's usually because someone has a watch that is running and keeping time very well but the case looks really bad, the plating has worn off or maybe it has a broken lug and a band can't be fastened to it any longer. So instead of buying a new watch they can buy an aftermarket case and dial that fits their old watch's movement for less than half the price of a comparable new watch. They then have a nice looking watch although it is not a factory original. This process is still being done today. Jewelry supply houses still sell aftermarket cases for watch movements. They're of lesser quality than factory original cases and replacement crystals are practically impossible to find and they have no collector value.
