This was a gold watch belonging to my father. He recently passed away. I don't have any information about it.

This was my dad's watch. He recently passed. I don't have much use for it and it wasn't really sentimental to the family. Thought a collector might appreciate it more. Identified as 1962 Bulova Drake "A". Looking to sell. Seems to be in good shape and still works when wound. Can't say if it keeps accurate time or not. Watch has been in a drawer for a few decades and was only worn on special occasions before that.

Sorry to hear about the recent loss of your father.
I've been able to find a Bulova linebook match for your watch and as such can confidently ID as a: 1962 Bulova Drake "A"
Condolences to you and your family. 1962 Bulova Drake "A" is a good match.
yes, 1962 Bulova Drake A

Thank you all for the information. It seems to still work. I wound it and it's telling time. Not sure if it is still accurate or not. Does it look like it is in good shape? Does it have any value? Any details that I can't get from a google search?
I am torn about whether I should keep it or not. It's been in a drawer for 30 years so I don't think it was super important to my dad. It doesn't really fit me. But I'm not sure if I should sell it or keep it for sentimental reasons. It's so hard figuring out what I should keep and what I should put towards the house payments.
