Nice one, what you appear to have is a

1963 Jet Clipper "J" on the original band!

Like THIS ONE.

Both of these ads are dated 1962. In 1964 or 1965 the "J" lost it's date window and got a different dial.

Does it still have the original expansion combination band?

It's certainly a match for the 1963 Bulova Jet Clipper "J". Nice model match Bob.

Yes, it seems to have the original expansion combination band! Quick question: Will I be able to manually wind this from the crown, or is it strictly just an automatic wind? I don't want to be cranking the crown when I shouldn't and damage the movement inside.
