Thanks Shawn. It makes a big difference when you've handled a gazillion of the actual watches. I have not. Subject sure looks like your example, and if that's shading by the artist, it looks like the ad too. Let me check in my parts drawer to see if I have a Senator hang tag...that would clear things up. :) Now what do I do with the darned watch? Place it back in a seal-a-meal bag w/ desiccant and put in the sock drawer for a few more years...? Seems like such a waste of a good watch...but it's my way... I'd almost give the thing to a good home (if you want the white version too). My wife and brother say I should collect Bulova watch photos, as the photos don't stop running or need servicing...
