Received gold swiss made bulova in 1976 as graduation present Had some problems with watch. Finally fixed. Was told that there was a time when movements were subcontracted out. Was told by the watchmaker that the movement is an eta movement. The back of the case says Bulova, and underneath it Swiss. The entire case is gold Very difficult to read serial # or code below this. I was told the watch is worth much more than what it was bought for
Was given this watch by a family member, it never worked and I cannot seem to find any information on it whatsoever.

Hi, I was going thru a box of "junk" when I came upon a repair envelope from a jewelry store, inside was my great grandmother's bulova watch. It has what looks to be a plate of gems on the side and the 2nd plate of gems was off of the watch (I think this is what my mother was trying to repair).
I've searched the internet for anything like this watch and am coming up empty. Any help you can give as to what kind of watch this is, would be greatly appreciated.
