I originally thought this was a 1940 Ambassador. Another member pointed out that it matches the ad for a 1941 Commodore. The 10 AE movement has a crescent moon, but also below it is a lighter impression of the circle with two (Bunny) ears.
The case back has a serial number of 064511 and inside the upper case is the Roman Numerals V I I.
I wonder if this was a 1938 made movement that was later sold as a 1940 watch?
The crystal is cracked. I have a new (old stock) crystal, I plan to put on it.

There was engraving all around the outside of the dial. Outside of the numbers. A railroad track pattern?? It is slightly more visible on the top. I am not sure if it is tarnished, faded or gone, but there is some spotting all over the dial.
The crystal is intact but has a crack in it.

I'm not sure the lugs are different. We have maybe two other ads for this model Commodore w/i a year or two of posted ad (and subject watch) and I thought it looked like a pretty good match, based on all three of the Commodore ads. I'll try to place a link to the other two Commodore ads below.

Hello Gordon, welcome to myBulova. It is unusual but not unheard of to have a two year gap between the date codes. Here's a link to the one Commodore we have in the dB from this era

At this time I'm inclined to go along with a Commodore ID.
