Hi everyone, thank you so much for helping me identify this watch. After looking at the other watches on this great site, I'm inclined to say that it's a 1948 His Excellency, although I haven't been able to find the exact same watch in the photos that are currently uploaded. It's 14K gold filled, and appears to be rose gold despite the camera making it look like yellow gold. The dial itself is pink. I'd be happy to open the case to provide more details, but I have no idea how to do that! If anyone has a clue, I would really appreciate it. I've tried pushing on the small bump next to the serial number on the back to no avail.
Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your watch with us! It is a beauty, I love the rose gold watches and dials. I do believe this is a His Excellency. Like the "GG" in yellow but in pink. Like this one in white https://mybulova.com/watches/1949-his-excellency-777?page=1
To remove the back it is best to buy a watch back remover tool so you don't scratch the back. They are inexpensive on Amazon or eBay etc., they kind of look like a little knife with a yellow handle.

Agree it is a 1948 Bulova His Excellency. Based on the conversation on the this model the pink gold is the HH. https://mybulova.com/watches/1948-his-excellency-9846?page=0

Andrew, if I may....any 'watch guy' that doesn't know how to open your watch is not the guy you want to open it. I might even suggest you don't try to open it. We know enough about these models to correctly ID them without movement information. If you do have it professionally serviced the watchmaker can fill you in on the details of the movement. We might be able to direct to to a qualified watchmaker depending on where you live.
PS 1948 Bulova His Excellency HH is the model
dear all,
thank you so much again for identifying my watch as the Bulova His Excellency "HH." I had it serviced by a professional and I'm in love with it. I'll try to post better pictures soon! In the meantime I was wondering -- and maybe this is the wrong place -- but does anyone know the dimensions/name of the acrylic glass? It was loose and fell off on a walk today :/ I'm hoping to get it replaced
