Early 50's(?) Bulova ID help

Hi all,

I just posted a watch I won today in an internet auction.  I bought it because I enjoy the looks of the stainless case.  In looking over old ads, I haven't been able to find one quite like it.  Can anyone put a name to it, or point to an ad where it is featured?  I'm thinking that the case back will help as much as the front, the script is laid out in a different style than I usually see.

Another What is my model?

Yes.

Hi everyone my name is Matt (call me Dezie...everyone does).

I received this Bulova for high school graduation in 2003... it was my fathers.

He said he bought it in Germany in 1957 or 58 (I cant recall for sure, but hes passed and I cant ask him), when he entered the army and was shipped there.

Ill post a couple of pix please if anyone can tell me any information on it besides what I know.

Heres what I know:
