This watch came to me from my grandfathers estate. He wore it all the time and got it from his cousin who was in clothing / watch sales on Long Island and Queens in the 60s/70s. I believe this watch was assembled in Queens? Have found out its a 1973 accuquartz. Beyond that I dont much about these watches.
Would like to get it cleaned up and put it in wearing rotatation. Are there different bands? The clasp on this watch is very loose. Sorry if some of these questions seem dumb I dont know much about this watch.
Hi Lewis -welcome to myBulova. You're right, we would ID this watch as a 1973 Bulova Accuquartz. It's wonderful to have an heirloom from your grandfather. The bracelet style (where it attaches to the case) of your watch will make it a bit harder to find and original but it is possible. The Bulova Center, which was for many years the corporate offices and factory was located on Astoria Blvd in Queens (Jackson Heights) . It is still clearly visible from the Grand Central Parkway adjacent to LaGuardia Airport. I think there was also a facility in Woodside.
I'll send you an email regarding service - double check your spam folder if you don't see it?
