Thank you for identifying the model. This watch was bought by my father after he got a major promotion at a young age, a was a big splurge in small town northern Canada in 1956.
It was worn everyday until he retired (from a desk job). I know it was repaired sometime before 1962 after it was hit by falling steel in a workplace industrial incident. As the story goes, his “Turtle” hard hat saved his life, and his Bulova saved his hand! One lug has looked askew since then. It was also sent away to be tuned-up a few times, and I can remember Dad missing his watch on those occasions.
There are some things I would like your kind guidance on. Is the face is original, being all block letters, unlike the “23 Jewels” script I so often see? If the watch had very major repairs, is it worth having it serviced and polished? Or it it just some odd parts and some gold? And can anyone recommend a reputable watchmaker in Toronto that won’t turn their nose up at a watch without a high-end name, or do I need to send it to the the US? Places I have tried seem to want the gold only and won’t even open the back. Thanks for your interest.
