I am selling a watch on eBay, and don't want the expense of an appraisal. Is there any place that records what quality of diamond Bulova typically used , or perhaps even other details?

Back of watch is marked N3, which dates it to 1973.

Watch number is 275001.

Other markings on the back of the watch are, "Bulova" and "14K."

Hello, I dont really post much on here, but i visit the site nearly every day. so let see if you can see what i saw :

Missing a stem/crown but for $13.25 I do believe I will take it!

Looks like it should polish up nicely.  This is also a model I've been waiting to find.  

1953 Bulova "Air King" say hello to all my friends!

I saw here some time ago that the best thing to polish an old Bulova is a jewlers cloth. I must say it works very well i am on my second one and these things are great. They polish and shine these old Bullies like nothing i have ever seen. Before i would put the cases and bracelets/bands in an electronic jewlery cleaner. But now i polish with the jewlers cloth and they just sparkel. I think maybe fifth  talked about these in an old post. Trust me get one or two you will not be sorry you did. I buy mine on ebay alot cheaper.

Found him today... 1940 Commander.... great snag at $26 shipped.  I think just the band alone is worth about 3x that.

The wear looks to be really minimal on the case.  Needs hands and a crystal for sure but who knows if that dial will clean up at all?  We'll see.... pretty stoked on this one.  Not many of them in our database... maybe 1 or 2 others?

I'll update pics when I get it.

Did they possibly make a variant of the surf king with no numerals, just hash marks. I have picked up a 17 jewel 11AL  marked M3 on the movement and case back that is identical to the surf king but no funny 12, Just hash marks for numbers. The second hand is in the low 6 o'clock position with the cross marks.
