Slight dial difference from HE GG 1948 Ad below: (click for full ad)

January 1955 model list shows

1948 HE NN ad below left.  Lugs below slightly different than GG. 1949 HE PP ad below right, with same lugs and different dial.  My point here: with over 48 variants of HE's listed, and dial variations having unique Bulova model numbers and variant letter designations, I'd confirm subject watch to GG if it matched ad dial style of GG ad above.


IMO two ticks tentative for now.

Two ticks from me and possibly a variation from the dial refinisher.

I'm still at two ticks, as the dial difference btwn subject watch and "GG" variant ad may make it another variant for which we don't have an ad.   There were lots of variants of this model at this point in time, and these subtle differences (dial) are shown to make a difference in variant ID.
