Need movement model, pics of inside and outside case back, please.
I have one photo of the outside of the caseback and one blurry photo of the movement. I cannot remove the caseback to take current photos of the movement. I have learned without doubt, this Bulova model is know as the Yankee Clipper. It has a manufacture date code of M3 which is 1963. The text on the caseback is as follows; BULOVA, /10k r.g.b., stainless steel back,/ shock resistant/ anti magnetic/ self winding/ water proof. The serial # is G461479.

Newkid How did you determine it's a 17 jewel movement? From the ad? Below is snippet from 1962 ad link above.
I got the info from the ad as well as a blurred photo of the movement in my watch. It appears to be an 11AFAC movement.
Yankee Clipper it is indeed. 3 ticks from me. Great lookin watch newkid, looks like new old stock from what I can see. Great score and Welcome to MB!
Agreed, stunning watch and ID good to go.
Newkid, can you post a pics of the back and a side view? Not doubting the info you provided just trying to bolster the record for future reference. Also, when/if you get the chance please post pics of the movement. Thanks
Yankee Clipper, and a dandy I might ad
Or...could it be a Sea Clipper...ad dated Feb. 8 1962
The dial looks like it has lumed dots at the hour markers on this ad, where the subject watch does not.
