Gift watch given to my wife's grandfather as a retirement gift. Unknown type, doesn't match anything I've seen on the site. Any insights on what the watch type is would be greatly appreciated - I need to find a new crystal, but need the watch type first.

Thank you for posting your Grandfathers retirement gift.   Based on our line book listing this is a 1954 Bulova Kirk.

Thanks to everyone for your help identifying the watch. I ordered a replacement crystal today and will get it to my local shop who has gotten it working again!

Nice match Jim - I was struggling with the bevel on the lugs, I'm on the road this week and didn't have access to the linebooks but this clearly shows it to be: 1954 Bulova Kirk.
