1941 Pocket Watch.. I have one of these I need to post. I love that tri-colored explosion dial. Yours is in fantastic shape.

What a beautiful watch! I Love the attention to detail; the hands are great! Unfortunately we don't have a lot of representative ads for pocket watches.

The 2 stamps on the movement are for 1940 and 1941; so this movement would technically date 1941. It's very cool and a great find. Unfortunately, at this point all I can call it is 1941 Bulova Pocket Watch. 

Bulova pocket watches seem to be much more uncommon than wrist watches, congrats!

Thanks for the comments!  It was one of my grandfathers, I'm not 100% sure which one.  Both of them wore wrist watches, so I don't think it was used much.  It will be for sale when my paypal donation is processed.
