we have a ton of pictures but i am not sure if we should upload them all or if you need better shots and of what. this watch is really old, we have done a ton of research but cant seem to get anywhere. we are looking for a Watch Name. there are vintage watches out there that have the same band by Bulova or same hands etc... but we can not find the exact watch. any help would be amazing
Welcome to myBulova Cfactory01. This is a nice little ladies watch. I'm a big fan of family heirloom watches because they're so personal to the owners. They're a part of a persons every day life. I think you're very lucky to have great grandmothers watch!
I think you hit the nail on the head Alan, that it's a 1934 Celestine. Nice ad find.
In reply to why does the case say June by Cfactory01
I think you will see something like "patented June 10, 1924" Cfactory01. That's the Bulova patent date and not the date your watch was made. Going by the case serial number you provided, the case would have been made in 1932. The first ad for your watch may have came out before 1934. I used the 1934 ad because it was the first one I found showing your watch model. I hope this clears things up a little for you.

You can see and read more information here about the Bulova Dust-Proof case

That particular patent date refers to the "Dust tite" cellulose movement cover. Bulova had at least two patents of this technology. The second was 1927. The ladies watches (movement size) usually continued to use the earlier "Dust Tite" cover up through the early 1930's, while most mens size watches switched over to the 1927 dust tite patented design at that time. Not sure what the difference btwn the two patents was.
In reply to and it looks like the band is by Cfactory01
