This watch used to belong to my grandfather; before he passed away he gave me 2 bulova watches that used to belong to him, this is one of them , although it has been stored for a long time, it still works quite well. the strap may not be the original and it is very dirty. I would like to restore these watches in memory of him, but I cannot identify the model I would appreciate it a lot if someone has any info on this model.
