Watch Description

requesting information on this watch. Found wrapped in tissue in Grandma's jewerly box. No band, stem pulls out to set time. Won't wind, does'nt run. Anyone in Kansas City, Missouri or near here repair Bulova's? If its not cost prohibitive i would like to repair, get an appropriate band and wear it. I would consider selling as well. Its real neat

10K GOLD FILLED BULOVA

Crystal shows no cracks or chips

Face, hands and numbers look great to an untrained eye with no watch repair experiance at all!

It's the "President" model. Date code will be on the movement which is probably a 7AP.

Ditto on the President model.  DarHin's comments let you know what jewel count/movement you should see if the movement is original to the watch.  The movement will likely have a date code symbol, indicating the date of movement production.  See   http://www.mybulova.com/bulova-date-codes   for the various symbols.

Hopefully one of the sites members can assist you in getting your watch services/repaired back to working condition.

President model for sure.

Jan, any chance you can pop the watch into a jeweler to have the back popped off and for them to note the movement details? That will help narrow dwon the age and year of manufacture.
