The one on the right is a Walton.  Not sure of the one on the left with the bezel engraving.

Aside from the engraving on the watch on the left I can't see a difference.

They look like my 45 Aviator/ Cadet/ Bruce/ Cambridge/ Lieutenant. The lugs on mine are different.

Talk about mistaken identity :)

Bob,

LOL! I hear Ya!

Here's an easy one, one has the Bulova logo printed the other is raised gilt lettering. There's 3 more I can see, possibly more.

The numerals are slightly larger on the watch on the right. The numerals on the watch on the left are placed wider on the dial and the watch on the left also has the minute track placed wider on its dial. There seems to be a slight variation to the seconds track on the sub dial also.

Vintagebulovawatchs is correct, the one on the right is the Walton, maybe, lol.  the one on the left?

At first glance they both look like Waltons....

Mark now that you pointed the differences out I can clearly see them. I'm gonna have to get me a jewelers lupe.

What I believe to be another classic example.

 

The print ad shows the 1952 President and an identical new old stock watch is tagged a Squadron 'L' - it's a 1962 model.

Mark the ad is for a 1956 President.

This is a really nice looking watch.

'56. Forgiveness, My bad.

Yea, if this were a '61 admin I'd buy it. Clean, simple yet sophisticated. Dream watch.
