Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your very nice heirloom watch from your uncle!  It looks like a Accutron Calendar "O" and is 14K gold filled.  Seems like this model was used for award watches like this one.  It is in the 1971 linebook page 6 but I am having trouble attaching it.  Like this one https://mybulova.com/watches/1976-accutron-calendar-o-10740

Thank you. It is in fair condition but not keeping time. I can change date and move the hands with the crown.

Are servicing/selling options or just realising its scrap value?

I recommend getting it services as there's not a lot of value in scrapping.

Thanks you for the ID expertise.

Servicing skill and knowledge are pricey so I hope the outcome will be worth it.

I sent it off today to a UK specialist
