Thanks Rob.
Another ad here gives the wrong jewel count, but has the fuzzy lugs and importantly, the case colour, "yellow gold filled case".
Lower price as it is a 1941 ad, and prices had changed considerably. A yellow gold plated Pesident that cost under $50 in 1942 was $57.50 by 1947. Those prices are from Bulova ads, not third party.

Another ad, this from 1940. Correct jewel count, dark lugs, same price as 1941 advert.

Edit- A friend of mine has two examples of this same watch with the engraving and 15 jewel movement,
funnily enough one is from 1940, the other from 1941.
I will ask his permission for pics, or a link to them.

You see this is what bugs the hell out of me. Trust me you will never ever I.D. EVERY watch 100% ever. Play the mind games with one another and i will move on knowing i have an Avaitor in pristeen condition, And i will keep seeking out these wonderful time pieces. Little less nit picking would go miles here men. But so be it i thank you bobbee for all the work you have done A+ and i am happy to see you back and a panel member your Bulova wisdom is leaps and bounds above most and a little common sense goes a long way fellas. :-)
