L1,17 jewels.10BM,10k rolled gold plate bezel.

They are gold? And for how much they can sell?

Rolled Gold plate means a thin plate of gold fused to a basemetal.

In your case, the quality of the gold content would be 10K, the quantity would be around 1/20th of the weight of the item plated, in other words, not very much.

The watch would be worth more for parts value than Gold scrap.

Sorry to confuse things Chloe.  I had too many windows open on the computer at the same time and posted comments in the wrong thread.  I couldn't just delete the post so tried to explain my mistake.

 

Your watch looks very much like this 1954 Ambassador -

Again my mistake - Old Ticker looks like he got it right.

Chloe are you asking members to value your watch?

This is not allowed on this site and has been mentioned a number of times, including when you created the topic. The value of a vintage watch is very subjective and can vary in so many different ways.

This site will gladly help to inform you what your watch is, but it will not tell you how much it is worth. That's not our job here.

Value of a watch = what you are willing to sell it for and what a buyer is willing to pay for it.

Sorry. I did not read that one can not ask. I do not know much English. I use a translator. I thought that once the forum and site dedicated to Bulova watch it and then you can sell to anyone interested. sorry
