Just returned from being serviced, 14k 1951 with a 21 jewel 8AC movement. The pictures do not do it justice, the watch looks almost brand new. The dial has not been refurbished only cleaned all original.

This is great to know, I wish my pictures did it justice. I have modern Rolex,Zenith, Breitling and Omega. However this little watch more than holds its own,to my eye the dial is incredible in the way that it catches the light.
Excellent ad match, Jim! This one is a first see for me as well. Nice watch!

I just noticed that this has a 19MM lug width. This is a bigger one for the period especially for a gold watch. Nice.
Cool watch - 1951 Bulova Whittier
