Printed exploding numerals appear to be the new varient in this case.
Enjoy.

Interesting Stephen,
I knew the Spencer line in general existed, but not in the stepped case style of the Senator.
Wonder what Year the color ad in the original post is, or could it be a printers' error?
Debateable...Questions including but not limited to:
If the Spencer model changed case styles, in what Year did that occur? There is evidnce showing the Spencer in different case form than the orig post existing in 1943, is there anything post that date?
...one more Bulova Rabbit.

I would venture to say that the Harvey - Roberts ad is a misprint. At this time we had the Blackout & Senator. Bulova wouldn't introduce another model in the same case at this time. But a jewler would.
I have a 1943 Spencer in a semi-terminal state that matches the second ad above. Note the case is different than a Senator/Blackout lugs.

Wayne,
Yes, it's agreed to what a 1943 Spencer looks like, that's a given.
What if in 1944 Bulova discontinued that case style and used the Senator case with the printed exploding numeral design and called it Spencer ? It would make perfect sense to Me as the printed dial seems a little bit too casual to be called a Senator IMO.
You, I nor anyone can say with certainty that the ad is a misprint, that's speculation. There's an ad showing a design with a model name.
At this time dating the ad or finding a second confirming or debunking the design name would help in making any conclusions.
In reply to It sure would. Kinda like the by Wayne Hanley
