Hello Amid, welcome to myBulova. I think you're spot on with the Medical Center ID. We have two other example in our database already. Below is an advert from 1942. Normally we date pre case date code watches (1947-48) using serial numbers. It seems your watch, like the other Medical Center watches seems like an outlier from that perspective. It's interesting that everything points to this being a 1948 Medical Center yet Bulova hadn't advertised this model for 5 or 6 years.

Thanks again for adding your watch to our dB.

All the 6BKC movements I have seen so far had a 1948 date code. That may be the only year that movement was made.

I've noticed that too.  I searched our movement database, the watch record database, and Lisa's site.  I checked with Dr Ranfft's database, but no dates spicific for 6BKC.
