Watch Description

Watch was passed down from my grandfather, I am having a hard time finding the model, I have looked through thousands of bulovas and have not found this model, it may be rare. This watch has features from different models like it has the vertical and horizontal lines like goddess of time has and has similar features as the sea king and aerojet. If someone knows what model this watch is please comment below, I would like to possibly sell it but need to find its value, Thanks.

I've found a great linebook match for a Bulova Golden Clipper "B"

Thank you, this is a very close match. Only difference is color and the whale icon.

Golden Clipper B is white (stainless). This is probably another variant.

 

Better match to the "L", example here

Seems like $70 was original value, any clue what market value would be today, i seen a few online selling for anywhere from 200-600?

Value = seller price = buyer price.

Sorry but we don't provide valuations on watches.
