Watch Description

I used the holidays to dig into my big pile of broken Bulova's and made quite a bit of progress.  Here is another and one of my favorites.  It is an awesome condition 1953 Director "C" in the much rarer white gold version.  Needed a stem, crown and mainspring but is in otherwise excellent condition.   

10KT white rolled gold plate case with stainless back.  The date codes on the case is L3 as well as the 10BT 15J movement.  I especailly like the contrast of the gold hands and applied hour markers to the silver case and dial.
