Watch Description

 I would like to know more about this watch. It belonged to my grandfather. There are some additional numbers etched into the inside of the case. Not sure what these mean. The best I can make out, they read 0178461-F with 3-05 underneath that. And 44012 underneath the stamped Bulova lettering.

If the face is showing its age then it could be cleaned and almost look like new - these old watches need cleaning and oiling even though they may be running and keeping good time.

I may have a sweep second hand for your watch. I will check my inventory and get back to you tomorrow. Very nice watch. I just acquired a movement complete and running but no case yet.

What Plains said is very true. I started out with my fathers Bulova and then inherited an Accutron Rail Road watch and now have over 75 of these lovely old masterpieces and a very large collection of parts.
