Watch Description

My grandfathers watch that was passed to me about 10 years after his death in the mid-1980's.

The dial has been untouched for sentimental purposes, though a new crystal has been fitted as the original was missing.

The band is the original Kreisler gold plated with leather band instert that is advertised with this particular model.  It's been restored to a worn but very servicable band with new leather.

It's sporting a professionaly cleaned and serviced 10AX, 17 Jewel movement

This is my VERY FIRST BULOVA... and the watch that started it all for me!

Does the Chief have a bracelet with the leather insert?  I know the Ranger names it in the ad.

Yes, the Chief is advertised with a bracelet with the leather insert also in 1941 & 42 ads.
