Watch Description

14K Rose Gold filled case with the dot/dash face. Watch is in excellent condition on a period leather band in what appears to be the original case. Clamshell retains the original "Bulova" foil tag on front and "21 Jewels" tab on inside. Watch was sold to me (by a non-watch seller) as all original from an estate and not running. I actually purchased it for the box, as I have never seen one with the ID markers still on it. Needless to say, it is running after being wound.

I found a couple ads calling this lug/face configuration out as President, and found one from 1943 in the short ads calling it

President "K"

We have several in the dB like this one to which we have not assigned a variant. I agree that the advert is not specific to the case color - 1942 Bulova President

I didn't see the ad Stephen referenced calling out color choice. Agreed.

I've seen that called a generic Preside t and I've seen it K several times.
