![[] Bulova watch](/sites/default/files/watches/1r-180819-10611.jpg)





I'm trying to help identify this watch for my father in law. He's cleaning out his deceased father's property & came across this watch. From what I've searched & found, I believe it to be a 1944 Navigator model. I'm trying to confirm that, or what model it actually is, and also wondering if it's worth enough to take it to a collector/jeweler & have it evaluated for value. None of the other watches I've found online have a signature inside the back cover, so not sure if that adds or decreases the value...or if it affects it either way. Also, I've avoided cleaning it at all in case the petina is part of the value (as is the case with some things).

Hi Ozarkneal2003 and welcome to mybulova. Neat watch, thanks for sharing. Is it rose or yellow gold color?
By casing it appears to be a Director, however I only find it in rose gold with a different face like this one
