Watch Description

Never seen this one before. Rose gold with a copper face. Face, movement and case marked Bulova. It appears the first number of the serial number (2) is hand stamped.

I don't have possession of this watch, it was an online auction I missed out on. The seller was quite gracious and allowed me permission to use his images to document the watch.

You're like me : o),  collecting is a dangerous thing sometimes.  I have too many Ladies Bulova watches.  I'll never get all my watches listed on here.

Not to throw fuel on the fire or anything-

A lot of my women customers buy the vintage men's watches because they are not that big, and are actually quite elegant. My sister wears the 1957 Ambassador 'G' Auto I gave her for Xmas a few years ago. She loves it and it looks great. 

Just sayin'........

I agree Reverend Rob.  I see sellers list mens watches as womens quite regularly.  I love my Senator.  It is about the same size as the 1929 Miss Liberty.

Nice looking watch with interesting lugs.  I bet the strap was interesting too.

I find this dial style very attractive. Very interesting case design with those lugs. Unknown model for now.

Shouldn't this one be a 1943 since it has a + date code for 1943 on the movement?

Jim, the date was based on the case serial which normally trumps the movement (which could be a replacement). 

It's still a little grey and the watch could very well have been assembled and sold to market in 1943, but to try and keep things standard we use the case date.
