Watch Description

This Bulova was my grandfather's and I'm not sure which year or model it is. The date symbol does not match any in the table. It is an asterisk, but only has 6 points instead of the 8 that are on the table. I'm guessing 1941.

Hi khayneswww, welcome to mybulova. heirloom watches are the best! This is a model we have struggled to ID, as ads are not found some reason. We currently have two others also dated 1941 like yours in the database and have tentatively ID'ed them

"Tentative" means we are making an educated guess based on all contributing factors (case color, dial, movement, date, case shape, crystal specs), but have no period documentation to verify.

Thank you. I was looking at that one also, but I noticed the Sponsors on the site have numbers indicating the seconds. My Bulova does not. I look forward to hearing/seeing what others think. I've been searching and searching.

Welcome to myBulova!!  And what a wonderful heirloom from your grandfather!  

This is one of those models that has a couple of names.  The Sponsor like the one linked above and the Broadcaster like this one https://www.mybulova.com/watches/1941-broadcaster-7651

The Broadcaster is in rose gold so we are assuming the Sponsor was in yellow.  However, they have a different dial to yours.  So I will go with a tenative on Sponsor based on the two we have in the DB until an ad comes up with your dial.

Second one in the Db so tentative still on the dial being a Sponsor. Hopefully we'll find an advert confirming or giving this beauty a real name.
