Watch Description

Here is a first for the database.  Looks to be a 1976 Bulova Model #52843W.  The case is silver plated with a wood bark texture bezel and original bracelet.  The dial is bright green with vertical texture lines and white markers and hands.  The movement is a 17J 5BD with an N6 date code.   Luckily I had a spare barrel ratchet gear screw.
