Can anyone help

Submitted by smartin06 on

Not sure if anyone can help me.  I found this in a box of bits and pieces belonging to my late uncle.  I would like my information.  It is gold in colour and on the back has Water tite, Bulova, anti-magnetic, stainless steel back it also has what could be a serial number 8212509.  Hope this is enough information for someone to assist me.

Thanks

Sueion.  It is in a very sorry state.  No winder, No strap and a cracked face.  Not sure what to do with it really.

Sue,

This Case style has been identified as the 'ASHFORD', but the 'ASHFORD' came with a sub-Dialed 17 Jewel manual winding Movement according to the ad and I notice Your Watch is not showing that.

You will need to open the Watch for further identification.

Interesting notes- can We get a picture of the Caseback?

Sorry the photo is not the best but hopefully it will assist.  There is no winder on the watch  and the inside sound a bit loose so not sure what might be inside........

 

Clockwise on the photo the writing reads

ANTI-MAGNETIC

WATER TITE

BULOVA

STAINLESS STEEL BACK

 

The number 8232809 is just above Anti-Magnetic.

 

Thanks

 

Sue

I can't see much of the details of the above watch. Does your watch look like the watch below? Does it have a BULOVA logo on the dial? Given clear jpg images of the watch dial, movement & case back markings inside & out we can identify your watch.

Yes it is similar but with a cream face. and had BULOVA on the dial.  How do I open it.  I do not want to damage it in any way as I think it need sosme LTC.

the more the merrier Wayne..

I think the Watch You are showing above is the same as the Watch in question. Sues' Caseback remarks have Me a little confused as does the Watch, it does not match the vintage ad for the 'ASHFORD'.

Looks like good timing for Plains new ad. here's a higher res image.

1957 Bulova Neptune

By any chance does it have L7 stamped on the back?
