This is a wonderful keepsake from your father. I wonder if he worked the Alaska pipeline in the 1970's. Many who did came back with highly embellished watches like yours. I call the bracelet ends "tips'. They're also found in the Southwest US decorated with turquoise on silver.
My guess is that this watch started it's life as a 1973 Bulova Beau Brummell BD like mine, in fact the difference in the serial numbers is only 120. Can you confirm that the back of the back is also yellow gold please? If it's white gold it will be variant BF.
