Watch Description

I recently found this stored among my great grandfathers possessions. With it was another family member's Squadron "A" and a Westclox Wrist Ben Style 3. This one still runs strong but the stem is severely stuck in place. It has sat in a box since probably 1975..

Based on other posted watches this looks to be a Bulova 23? The numerals were very difficult to photograph but I'm almost positive it reads "L6" under the serial number (the scratch on the back didn't help). Where is the movement serial number located?

Looks to be in fine shape. Bulova 23 "F"; like this one.

L6 looks correct on the back.

Movement date stamps are typically in this location circled red:

23f
