What is it? - [ Archived ]

I recently purchased this intriguing (to me) White color cased Bulova. The case back is correct, although not pictured. It is an L6 with a case no.29301. Im a new member so bear with me. couldnt figure how to get more than a Thumbnail photo attached. Dont even know if its attached! The dial is a honey colored Honeycomb textured dial. Measures 32 mm in diameter. I would love some help identifying it. No help from your site search. Hopefully someone recognizes this watch. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Dan

Sorry this has taken me so long to post it up after I got it but as most of you know I've been pretty busy the last few months.  Well.. this is the first one I've gotten... I believe this is NOS.The Jefferson.  We don't have an advert for this yet other than a very horrible catalog ad someplace you can barely make out it looks something like "Jefferson".  Well low and behold inside the case was the original hang tag! This watch is in pristine mint condition.  I haven't had one like it and certainly haven't seen one from the 1950's in this good a shape except for a couple that Oldticker had found in parts and was fixed up by Mike. I'm adding a few more pics just because I think this will be the primere go-to for this model in the future

17 Jewels Written on the Dial

General Information - [ Archived ]

On prior ocassions when a watch has presented with "17 Jewels" on the dial, the watch has been dismissed as a Frankenbully.  Here's one example of such a statement posted in a watch thread:

 

"I've also seen late 1950's early 1960's Water tite with 17 Jewels written on the Dial below the Bulova signature.  IMO these Dials are / were non Bulova replacements."

Hi my name is Dave and i'm from the uk. A while ago I started getting into watches, a friend of mine gave me a bag of old watches, I went through the bag and there was the usual chinese no jewels quartz watches but one caught my eye, it had no strap and a broken crystal but said swiss made at the bottom of the face and the name Bulova on it. It felt heavy and good quality , the gold was faded but it worked when i wound it up. So i kept it and googled Bulova and found out a bit about  Bulova watches and I must say how nice they are!
