The back outside of the case reads "10K gold filled" and "Bulova", in addition to the engraved initials. The inside of the case is engraved "Bulova" "Fifth Avenue" "New York". The face of the movement is pearl colored; the hands and numbers are gold colored. No alpha-numeric date code on the back.
Info on the inside of the movement includes: the movement model in a small rectangle, either 68K or 6BK. 17 jewels, unadjusted, swiss 48. Couldn't find a date code symbol.
There's lots of info and pat numbers on the claps if anyone is interested.
Hi Heather, welcome to My Bulova!
The date code is 48 which in this case means 1948. They did this for '48 and '49, and in 1950 went to a letter code.
I think it looks quite a bit like a Margot, can you confirm how many tiny diamonds we are seeing here?
Is it 2 or 4?

Hi Heather, thanks for adding your watch, it's beautiful. The bracelet might not be original to the watch so the information on it is probably not relevant. I've looked through the adverts we have on site and don't really see anything that matches. It's hard to imagine that for all the advertising Bulova did in the 1940's we don't find a match. For now...
1948 Unknown
