Hi Jeff, having your grandfather's Bulova = Priceless. I think you are very fortunate to have this keepsake from him! Wearing it requires servicing it regularly as well, at a minimum every couple years depending on the environment you work in. I'm sure you are aware that it can be restored with a newly painted and relumed ( glowing numbers) dial as well, here's my President:

It's personal preference, some like the fully restored look, others like 'em all original. Either way, spend the money to have it leaned and oiled.
President model, a real beauty!
