can anyone give me information about this watch? i'm not sure what year it is. i haven't been able to find any other kind of Bulova that has the "6" below the second dial. any information you can give me would be appreciated.
Hi and welcome to mybulova.com!
Your watch is more a 1932 than a 42', and looks a lot like an Ambassador with the stepped case and engraving around the crystal.
A 15 Jewel movement was used on the Ambassador & Senators in the early 30's.
I will have to take a look in the ad database and known models to see if I can find one that looks like yours.

It's a 1942 Chief...
It's 10BL movement produced in 1942 can be found here:
No problem Greg... the only reason I recognized it so readily is that's what I was looking for when I found this site. My grandfathers watch I was hunting down info for was a 1940 Ranger... this exact watch with a name change.
Incidentially Pye621.... the original band in your grandfathers watch has a leather insert. It's found here:
