This was my grandfather's watch. The case it came in says President 23 Jewels, but the watch says 30 jewels. Someone wrote 1968 on the back of the owner's manual. Under the serial number I'm pretty sure it says m7 which should be 1967. I have not opened up the watch and would rather not, but am curious what exactly it is. On the back it says: 10 kt RGP BACK - Water proof - Self Winding - Anti Magnetic - Shock Resistant Any help is appreciated Thanks!
It's beautiful.... that's what it is. We have ads for this one...
Commander.
This has a different bezel to other ariant we see, so just a plain Commander until we find an ad with the variant.
Welcome to myBulova John, I think you're fortunate to have your Grandfather wrist watch, it must be very special to you.
I think Bob is right, if it was 17J it would be a Clipper, in 30 I think it's a Commander too.
Commander. The movement will say 30Jewels regardless of what the box says.
Agree with Commander. This case shape shows up in the AQ variant with a smooth bezel, but is also seen as the Time Center model. Nice heirloom to have. President case not correct for watch.
Thanks a lot for the info so far!

In the comments section, mrbthebarber posted my exact watch from what it looks like. I'm wondering if he ever got it reviewed here?
Thanks again.

John19. That watch linked above was never entered into the watch database for consideration. It was only discussed briefly in the record of the watch in the root record of that thread.
Thanks a lot for your help!
I see the Time Center ad is from 1969. I'm good w/ Commander for subject watch.
