My father bought this watch in Toronto Ontario 1960. He passed away over 20 years ago & I inherited the watch. When I got it the crystal was cracked so my jeweller replaced same, cleaned it up & it still runs perfectly. I only realised, by accident, just recently, the interest in older Bulova watches, had no idea of the history. I found the watch in one of this websites old adverts, it's 1960 ad #20 of 36 very bottom extreme right corner. It's shown as The Beau Brummel CCCW $215.00. The picture shows the watch with a alligator strap, I can't remember it when my Dad had it. When I got it the 14K band was in disrepair so my jeweller found me an Italian 14K bracelet for it, it is very very similar to the original. I had him take the clasp off of the old bracelet & attach to the new one as my father had his initials mnk inscribed on it. They happen to be my initials also. Upon further inspection of this clasp I have found a hallmark B inside of an eggshaped, open at the bottom, mark. So, now I am wondering if this clasp & broken up bracelet which I still have is Bulova original. That's all for now, look forward to any help or opinions.
Thanks
