After looking thru the data base I foun d two possibilities for this watch. Could it be a 1946 Officer or a 1947 Ranger??

The Officer is 15 jewels, like JPs watch.  It sure looks like the Officer to me, although, admittedly, these low res hand-illustrated ads can make it hard to be sure.  Bulova made so many watches with essentially this same profile. . .
