Watch Description

1948 Bulova His Excellency “SS”
7AK 21j movement 48 date code
The band is an original Bulova. It can be seen best in the ad for the ‘48 His Excellency “UU”

This watch and band are in superb condition. The band is easily a 10. The dial isn’t perfect but I’d rate the watch as a 9 overall. The winding of the movement is extremely smooth.

Here’s the ‘49 ad showing the “SS”.  www.mybulova.com/sites/default/files/vintage_ads/bulova-ad-1949-11.jpg

That is beautifull. Bob was a lucky man. You could buy a nice used car for that amount of money in 1948.

Love the original band on this one. Beautiful condition overall, with a great dedication on back. The distinct center groove on the crown teeth (if original) says it wasn't wound/worn anywhere near what you would expect of a 75 year old watch.

1948 His Excellency "SS" looks like a match!

A very nice example and good ID match.
