Watch Description

While I'm being awkward here's something really unhelpful to work on.  I can confidently say that it's round but everything else is up for debate. It looks like the caseback SHOULD come off but I've scratched it once trying, can't see a notch to aim for but there is a groove. I'll show my watch guy in a couple of weeks when I see him next and update.Hope you can make out the "BULOVA SWISS" etched on the back along with the old Bulova goddess. Other than it says waterproof I got nothing else to add sorry.

YEs the case back markings is unusual.   I have to go with unknown international model.

Oh, very nice, thanks Luke. So we keep the year at 1960 (MO) but we're still at a loss for any additional identification clues.

Indeed, the date does tie in with Jim's American Eagle image but I know you guys like to avoid speculating so as is traditional with new discoveries I'm naming it the Cornish Eagle aka the flying pasty 😂

Well Luke, you'll be glad to know that there is s pub in my town in Florida USA called the "British Open". Once a month they have "Whiskey (Whisky) Night" where we taste a variety of Scotish, Irish and of course American whiskies, bourbons and ryes. There are several "British" items on the menu (imagine that). This past week I enjoyed the "Cornish Pasty", I thought of you when I ate it although I'm sure it's nothing like you would recognize.

As long as you ate it with your bare hands. I'll send you a recipe if you like, though not sure how it would translate
