I believe this is a Watertite model from 1950. Just picked this one up in a lot of other watches nd really didn't pay much attention to iit. Trying to decide if it is worth restoring or not, need service, crystal and case work. Thoughts?
Hi Reinking71, welcome to myBulova. My theory on restoration is simple. If it's a reasonable cost and I want to wear the watch, I restore it. I really don't consider the final value although I should. I end up with a few watches on which my investment outweighs the worth of the watch but I love them all the same.
In terms of ID, I'm torn. We have an old record of a 1950 Watertite that I'm a but suspicious of, I'm not sure it's a good ID

Yours doesn't match either the case or the dial. When I look at this ad though, I think we have a match
