Watch Description

I think it is a 1958 Boulevard ladies watch. The back says it is 14 karat gold. A jeweler said the band is 10 karat gold as well. 
 it is surrounded by a number of diamonds. 
 it doesn’t have the letters or symbols on the back like some of those I have seen to confirm the year. It does have 758215 on the back of the watch.

It was my grandmother‘s and I don’t know anything else about it.

Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your heirloom watch with us.  From the 1957 linebook, page 57, your watch is an Empress "K".  I would be inclined to date this as 1957 until we can see the movement.  It is in the 1957 linebook but not the 1958 or 1958/59 linebooks.  Also without a date code the serial number seems to indicate the year stating with the 7.

I am curious about the band on my watch. The pictures seem to show a cord band and mine is a 10K gold link band. Do you think this band was added later? Does that impact the value?  I am interested in selling but I have no idea the value.  Thanks!!
