I inherited this watch from my late father who inherited it from his late father so details are sparse. My grandfather was a watchmaker from Edmonton, Alberta and from what I'm told by what my mother recalls, he was one of 10 watchmakers invited to the Bulova factory (I assume in 1968 as that is the year of the watch as per the stamping on the back). Each one was given one of these watches. I have done some research but cannot find anything about these tours or found this particular watch model anywhere. I would love to learn some history or help identify this watch. I took it to a jewelry shop 10 years ago and had the watch appraised. He told me he couldn't give me an accurate appraisal, only the value of the gold itself.
I am not so interested on what it is worth as much as the history of it and if the details I was provided are true.
Thanks for any help!
Looks like you could take the back off of it with a ratchet and socket real easy.
In absence of a model number this is a 1968 Bulova Accutron Calendar but really need to see the movement.

Reviving an old thread... Only took 2.5 years, but I finally remembered to take it to my friend's jewelry shop and they took the back case off and took a few pictures for me. Hopefully that may help with any history!

Do you know if the front bezel is also 18K?

The jewelery store has told me they believe the whole watch is 18K
