Watch Description

Hello everyone! Adding another Bulova to the database. Case is dated 1950, movement is 1951. I cannot find an ad that looks similar to this. Hopefully I am just overlooking something. This seems to have a similar design pattern to a few different Unknowns. Looking to see what you all think! Thanks!

Isn't it interesting how Bulova had so many watches that were similar in design.  Your watch on the left having a tonneau shaped case, the one on the right a cushion case but the main etching design almost the same.  Alsa, coming up as Unknown for me.

I have been back to this one multiple times and come up empty. Sorry. By case date:

I am thinking these might actually be two different models.  The one on the left looks like the ad with a tonneau shaped crystal and minute track and the one on the right has a cushion crystal and minute track line.  So I am leaning towards keeping this one as Unknown.

Yep, in looking at them again and seeing your side-by-side photo, I now have to agree.
