Watch Description

Don't know what model this is. Case is in excellent condition marked N3. The movement don't know but it is manual wind. Keeps great time. The watch band is Bulova signed. Baldwind made looks original to the watch. I love this watch. Would help any information on it. Thanks again Bobby V61.

I like it, in fact I like it a lot. I have a special place for what I call the chunky 'mod' watches of the seventies. I love the big stainless cases and the heavy bracelets. This one looks like it's never been worn and I REALLY like them in this condition, especially with the original bracelet. I don't really see an advert match to this gem although it seems like it would be a Clipper of some variant. I think the Clippers and Jet Star watches of the mid seventies were the 17 jewel models but we have quite a few Jet Star adverts and nothing like this one. One watch in the dB is very close, we show it as a Clipper but it was ID'd before we did a thorough job vetting the ID and it has a low confidence rating (which really just means we can't confirm the ID through an advert).

I'm leaning to Unknown at this point but I do like it.

I agree with Geoff; very nice look to this one. Searched the adverts and did not find a model match; Unknown for now...Ken

I agree with Geoff, it certainly has that Clipper / Jet Star look about it. 

Knowing more about what's inside might help. Any chance of a photo of the movement.
