I don't know how this got mixed in with all my Character Watches; it must really feel out of place.
Anyway, it's a Bulova Fifth Avenue New York
The movement is marked:
BULOVA WATCH CO.
8AE
21 JEWELS U.S.A. 47
The back of case is marked:
10K GOLD FILLED
BULOVA
6427645
The inscription on the back is dated 9-21-47
I assume the 47 marked on the movement is for 1947
That is all I know about this watch.I don't even remember how I acquired it.
Thanks for looking,
Dave

According to mybulova.com, the adverts show this watch as the 1947 "Douglas 'B'", the Douglas "A" was red gold, the "B" yellow gold, and a 3rd was pink gold. Very nice watch, PW.
Thanks bobbee for the information, so the Fifth Aveenue is not the name of this watch. Also thanks for the appreciation bobbee & kerry10456.

Dave, yet another fine watch! How many watches do you have in your overall collection? (:
Thanks Bruce for the appreciation.
As far as quantity, I'm not sure. Haven't counted. Kinda slowed down on buying the last couple of years, unless it is something I really want. My kids are seriously worried about what they are going to do with all my junk.
