Watch Description

This watch was given to my grandfather while he was serving in WWII by my grandmother.  He served from Nov 1942 until Dec 1945, so I know the age of the watch is somewhere in that range.   It is marked 14K Gold Filled Bulova on the back of the case.   I am very interested in knowing the year this watch was made.   I was not able to determine the age from the symbols, although I think it is marked with the T, but not 100% certain.

Commander case, possibly a dial variant? I agree it would be helpful if we had some more clear pics.

not that My opinion matters but as mentioned prior this appears to be a 'COMMANDER' with the luminous Dial variation We see from the era.

 

ie: 'SENATOR' / 'BLACKOUT'

 

it's an 'UNKNOWN'
