L4 on the Movement?
In reply to ad Dated 1955 by FifthAvenueRes…
L6 on movement and 5 for first number of case serial number.
Good call Mark, looks like the date could be 54,55 or 56 to me. Just too hard to make out.
Navigator works for me if the date is right.
Mark, you have one of these too. Do you want me to send you my case opener and you can send it back when you'r finished??
I'm on my cellphone. I'll update info on this watch which JP has provided when I return home.

Navigator - but whose is it John or Will?
It's mine, but if memory serves me Mark has one too.
Thanks for the help fellas.
JP I'm not seeing the pic of the case back opening tool. The 4th picture in root record (stamped Bulova Watch Company, Made in France) looks like the inside of the case back, not a tool/key.
...and 1956 Navigator from me too.
Agreed here as well. Navigator
