I'm confused on this watch, the case says M6 which I was told means 1966 but the movement is 11AFAC which from what I gathered was used from 1959-1963. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The 11AFAC movement is 100% correct for this case (2063). Now the question is, is the movement original to the case?
A 1959 movement in a 1966 case suggests not. Interesting to figure out what we have here as the components seem all correct, that is unless the caseback only (as Jim mentions) is not original, but from another case that just happened to use the same movement model.
I think all-in-all we still have a Bulova Winchester. Just not sure what year. 1966 with a correct earlier replacement movement?
We had a debate about this case not long ago. Pre-1959 Winchesters by ads and all other examples in the database lack the "scallop pattern" around the case sides. It looks like this case change appeared in 1959, after which the model was likely discontinued. The latest Winchesters we have ID'ed to date are 1959 and all of them have this "stand alone" for model scalloped case. No Winchester model as late as 1966, and no other ads identified for any other model using this case. Movement date therefore matches case.
I'm with Jim on this one as well.

Robert,
Is this a duplicate of your other watch you posted? https://mybulova.com/watches/1959-winchester-11467. It appears to be the same watch but in this listing yow show a different case back with an L9 date code.

Robert,
I would set up an ebay alert for a 1959 Bulova. You can narrow it down to parts or the whole watch category and see if something pops up. That is how I complete any watches I have that is missing parts. I did check and do not have a case back. As for bracelets some others may want to chime in that are more experts on the matter but I believe they used Champion and other brands.
