Nice one, Bulova didn't do many Roman Numeral dials. Your watch is a Westchester per this 1941 ad.

wad2The Beacon was similar but had hooded lugs

Thank you, I had noticed the lugs, it had me confused. Also if I remember correctly, the Sears Beacon was a 17j movement. Don't remember, but there were a couple a things that th threw me.

Very nice watch.  I agree it is 1940 Bulova Westchester.   Can you check the serial number and make sure it starts with a 6 and not a G

I know I should know, but what is the "AAA" stamp?
