Watch Description

I inherited this watch from my grandfather, who owned a jewelry store and repaired antique watches.  I don't even know  if it is a genuine Bulova.  I stated the year as 1950 because it was required to complete this listing, but I have no idea.  I would certainly love to learn the manufacturer year and model (and if it is genuine).  If anyone would care to share that information, I would be grateful!  Best regards~

Has all the characteristics of an Air Warden case.
Not a genuine military model, this does not look like a waterproof case, or even Watertite, looks to have a press on case back, maybe a medical type watch, like those sold during the war years.
I agree with 1945 date,Will.

Sorry, as usual, I'm the hard one. Validate the date and fix the listing or off to the dustbin with it.

I don't know Geoff, it is still an interesting watch. I agree the date needs to be changed but don't know if it sould be called a military. More likely a mediacl watch.

Unk from me.

I agree with GB, no data worth keeping here.

Why delete the only example of this case/dial combination? Yes, it's an incomplete record but I think it's worth keeping.

I agree w/ DarHin, and it's been updated to a 1945 unknown- that's better then a 1950 unknown.
