Hi!!  I have a Bulova Senator wristwatch, It's has L9 which i believe is a 1959 watch.  The serial number that's on the back of the face is D582521.  The band itself is a spring type which can open to fit any wrist.

Can anybody tell me what the approximate value of the watch is?

Thanks, Sframe

All, when asking for the value of a watch please include a link to the either the watch link on this site or a link to the watch on another site that clearly shows the condition of the watch.

Estimating the value of a watch cannot be done based on a description alone.

This question is asked alot and unfortunately its impossible to provide any worth while information about a vintage Bulova watch based on the serial number. Only Bulova themselve might know what case serial numbeer ties in with the model, but that would be for watches later than 1969.

Best way to is post a photo so collectors/owners can help in identifying the model. Another method is to search through the vintage ads to see if you can find the watch in question.

Here is a link to a photo watch on eBay.

Monitor the bidding and final price. Then compare the condition of your watch to the auction watch. You should get a pretty good idea of value using this method. This is just one easy way to get an idea of value.  This type of watch is very popular.

I have a Ladies Bulova Watch that says Belova 17 jewels Swiss on the front and it says Belova M5 10k R.G.P. Bezel Stainless Steel Back then at the bottom of the back it says X694620. Its in excellent condition. Its a self wind watch, very petite. I cant find one anywhere on the internet exactly like it. I have found some very similar. I know that it was made in 1965 but i dont know what kind of bulova it is or any history or worth for it. Can anyone tell me anything about it?
