I originally purchased this 1959 Bulova 23 XW at a thrift store for $9.99. It was fairly dirty and not working. I am restoring it, however, I will get the movement restored by a professional. Here are all good insignias on the back.

A picture of the back and movement would be helpful in confirming ID.

Thank you for the welcoming! It was a good find. If you live in a big city Thrift stores you can find some treasures. I just found a Seeland Ladies watch for under six dollars. I think it is a 1940s. It’s gold plated. I’ll post it soon.
Nice looking watch Bruce, thanks for sharing it. In future it's best to add the photos directly to the record and subsequent comment fields, eventually the links die and the content it lost.
