Hi Sean, welcome to myBulova. It's exciting for you to have your grandfathers watch. I think some of the most valuable watches are those with family ties. As an heirloom, it's priceless. I don't see much of a match looking through our ads so I'm inclined to vote it 'Unknown' for now. We'll keep looking though. I appears as though you grandfather took very good care of the watch. If you plan to wear it, I suggest having it professionally serviced.

'69 is correct, Movement Model field should be entered as 'Unknown'.

Sean,

Also, are the Hands lumious and are there lumious dots at the Hour markers on the Dial?

If it is 17J, then a Sea King "E" looks to be a match. I think the part circle at the 6 position is just a scan quirk as it would not make sense to have a 6 there as the other main numbers are all markers.
