Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your watch with us.  It is a gorgeous watch.  I haven't been able to find an ad for it yet.  Hopefully one of the other panel members will know it.

Unknown for now

Nice! I've taken to scooping up the odd or somewhat strange Bulova watches I see off of ebay. This fit the bill. Nice to know what it is. Even the seller noted they didn't know what the model was.

I recall seeing that advert in my recent searches of the site. Very excited to finally have an example in the database after all these years.

1951 Bulova Nelson.

Glad to help. My interest in this watch only grew when I saw there was no database record for it.
