Watch Description
Can't seem to ID this one other from the date on the movement. The movement has no import code. Inside back of case has no markings (well, except those from watchmakers).

The 6AE was from an FHF 332 ebauche, which is a common size (6 3/4 x 11) and would have been used by other makers. No import code likely means a European model, and no US advert would make sense in that case. Now, did Bulova European market watches utilize American Standard Cases? Why import cases if you didn't have to? Other non-US market Bulovas used Swiss cases, etc. So it is possible that this is a non-conforming Bulova because of the case, or maybe this is what they sold overseas, and is 100% Bulova.
Unknown for me..
