In reply to Nice "Rite Angle". It's a by bourg01
Spencerline,Darhin, the dial and hands are from the mid 50's to 1960. I'm guessing that instead or having the dial refinished someone had a new old stock dial put in it to replace the older messed up original. These dials were supplied by Bulova and typically came with the hands but as you can see in this pic, not always unless the hands from these dials were used elsewhere.
As you can see they were available for many different models. These NOS dials all fit the 8AC and 8AE movements. Here's the Rite Angle with the white dial.
Thats a lot of dials, lol thanks for the info its most appreciated, I have seen a watch with a similar Diamond dial for auction in Germany soon on artfact on a different model bulova watch. I have a couple of nice omegas but recently I got interested in these old Bulovas and purchased a couple as their designs are superb. I do not know very much about watches but the case designs by Bulova on some of these older watches are some of the greatest of all time.
Clearly they are underestimated in the watch world by a lot of us Europeans as they are not Swiss, lol although I think the early Bulovas had Swiss movmenents, The movements made in the USA are underestimated and are very good quality.

Lots of Bulova's have Swiss made movements but your right about them being under estimated overseas. That's changing though as I am starting to see a sharp increase of new customers buying vintage Bulova's in the UK, France, Germany, Malta, Netherlands as well as others.
That is very similar but I have seen the same dial on a Bulovs 1940 watch in an auction coming up in Germany soon on Artfacthttp://www.artfact.com/auction-lot/bulova-goldarmbanduhr,-handaufzug,-schweiz-fur-de-14-u-1e510fc047
