This watch belonged to my dad...He died in 1967....I want to know what year it was made & the model if possible.....the serial number on back is 0303070..I assume he quit wearing it because the second hand came off (it's inside the crystal loose) or the winder came off (missing)...I did wind it a little and it runs but not accurate......I don't know anything else about it...
It made me put in a Manufacture year before it would take my post.....This watch was not made in 1967....Part of my posting was to find out what year it was made...I don't know.
Hi CT, welcome to mybulova. Thanks for sharing your Dad's watch with us. Heirloom watches are really special. Based on s/n, which indicates a production year of 1940, and grooves on the lugs, I will say your watch is a
1940 Lone Eagle "A"
I will change year above in initial write up for you.
Wow that was fast.Thanks a lot for your help.I think i'll get it fixed.A good cleaning.Re-attach the second hand and put a winder on it.I would hope that's all it needs.
Sure looks like a Lone Eagle to me. 1940 Bulova Lone Eagle A. Cool heirloom
