No 8. 1955 Senator with variant dial.
Stephen,
Thanks. There's an example in the database, 1955 Senator. Counting the 'fingers' on the side of the case the example shows 7, this shows 9?
In reply to Stephen, Thanks. There's an by FifthAvenueRes…
Maybe the artist thought 9 just to contrite?! Haha.... no really though... could just be a artist deciding he didn't want to cram the other's in.
It'd be pretty wild to have TWO 1955 watches looking exactly the same except for that diviation.

*edit to post: Case sides show 7 fingers as in the illustration not 9.
My bad.
Fifth- was there any date symbol on the case back?
Either a different Senator variant or a non-conforming dial.
Senator "A" is what this case shape has been ID'd as.
In reply to Either a different Senator by mybulova_admin
Old Ticker did a nice comparison of Senators A, B, C, and D here. I think we have been ID'ing based on case differences...and this watch simply has a redail not to original.
I'd be good with a tentative Senator "A" for this watch...and think it keeps us consistnet in ID'ing- at least least for the A, B, C and D variants of this series at this time period.
Senator "A" model number is 32701 in the above referenced ad.. In the 1961 price list, Senator 'A' model number becomes 13215 . According to this 1962 ad, the dial matches the subject watch.
1961 Bulova Senator "A".
1961 Senator "A"
Senator 'A' works for me.
