Well brother... you have to bite the bullet and take off the back. (Believe me it's not as scarey as it sounds)
Use something not scratch metaly... I used a plastic spatula the first time! Then you have the take the movement out of the back part of the case. Should come out fairly easily.
Then take a decent picture of the movement... but you should see some sort of two lettering system...
Look under the INFORMATION tab above and go to BULOVA DATE CODES
For instance according to the chart:
1950's = L
Then the corresponding year number = 2
So if it is a 1952... on the movement.... or the back of the case sometimes... you should find a "L2" stamped someplace.
