Watch Description

From what I can find online this appears to be a 1932 Bulova President. I cannot seem to find another one with the same case and seconds dial in the same position though.

Thank you! I did not realize how ornate the original band was. I would love to restore it to working order but I don't know where to begin. Are these rare at all in terms of vintage Bulova watches?

The original 1930s bracelets are certainly out there available to buy. eBay is a good place to start. Some sellers want way too much, but you may find a reasonably priced one that suits.

It might be a little harder to find an exact match to what is shown in the adverts, but you should be able to find something close, as the styling was very popular with a number of watch brands and bracelet manufactures, during the 1930s especially.

1932 Bulova President is a good ID.

Are you asking if the watch is rare, this case style is moderately common, these were mass produced consumer goods - Bulova made thousands of most of their models and the President was a VERY popular model. The bracelet on the other hand is a bit less common, I've seen three or four of them over the years.
