So.... if this is the Senator "A". It would obviously stand to reason there would be a Senator "B".... or "C", or "D"?
This by chance? Or this? Or this? Or this?

The original ad for the Senator I was showing was mid-40's... so.. if it shows a Senator "A"... then it only stands to reason that at THAT time there would be B, C, D, E or whatever...
That coupled with the same case and all those dial variations would make sense.

CLEARLY Bulova wasn't hiring Illustrators to create ACCURATE renderings, nor to illustrate variables... In fact, they stuck to "the same script," like GLUE... and only showed the same dails, for whatever reasons? (DESPITE the obvious dial variants, if the model SOLD WELL enough...)
As for "A- E+/-" that is simply that model, that year, in crystal catalogs, display ads, etc. AND there were NUMEROUS A+s, etc. EVEN from year to year in some cases (no pun intended) IF it was a HOT ENOUGH seller and/or the design changed (interrelated) on say SENATORS, PRESIDENTS, etc...
Ok... I'll post the AMBASSADOR dial/case variables (A- F?) from 1953- 58, since you seem to be on the SENATORS this week, Jerin+ SO PROVE MY POINT OK, my friend??? (But DON'T expect to find much/any more than examples of original dials... until someone finds a "NOS" watched, tagged as a ???)

A HA!! Good job Greg... well then OBVIOUSLY.... there IS more than the regular Senator.
The red gold Senator "F" would absolutely not be the regular yellow gold/white dialed Senator. It's going to have to be the 1st variant I posted or the one we're calling the Spencer... or something else.

When Bulova states 'Gilt' they mean a thin Gold plating, the term is used throughout the Jewlery and Watch making industry.
SENATOR 'B' will appear on a Bracelet to answer the original question, I think I've seen the ad somewhere.
As of today there are still no ads on record showing the 'SENATOR' in any other configuration than with an Arabic numeral Dial, yet there are 3 models listed taking the same Crystal:
'RADIO CITY' 'SENATOR' 'SPENCER' - The Two unknown models are going to be the step lugged Case with numeral variant Dials.
