1948 Unknown Gentlemen's Set

Well here we go gents.  This is a complete gentlemen's evening set Bulova must have produced on a very limited basis as I have never seen anything like this after scouring for the past few months.

It shows very nicely with a 1948 Unknown Bulova men's watch sporting a 10BC, 15 Jewel movement.  It comes with cufflinks, a tie clip, and a wallet chain?  All are in fantastic shape.  The box itself is marked Bulova and seems to be a alligator-esk covering.

I've not seen this dial before and it's been suggested by Bourg01 that this set may have been offered exclusively in the European market.  This is possibly supported by the back case of the watch being marked on the inside as Made in France.  Though it doesn't seem to be marked Bulova, so it could possibly be a recase.

This band looks very familiar and I'm almost positive I've seen this band in a Bulova ad someplace.

Anyway gents... here it is.  I'm less than optimistic this one will be found quickly... but here's to hoping!
