I don't think this ad is already posted. This is from The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - 10 September 1947 

It's for 4 different Bulova "Lady Excellency" watches.

Here are numerous ads dated 1941-1942 identifying a Bulova Watertight as a legitimate model name unlike the Watertite name.  I secured the box which I posted in the forum and believe two different models were sold as a Bulova Watertight.   There is a yellow gold plated model as noted in the ad and a stainless case like this one https://mybulova.com/watches/1940-watertite-9242.  I just purchased the yellow gold model. Like the one picture here.  This version has lumed hands and hour markers. More to come when I get it in.

Here is an interesting ad from 1941.   This is a 1941 Bulova Emilie.   I have not seen another spelling like this.  I am wondering if it is different from the Emily.
