My great grandma gave me this watch before she died. How can I tell anything about it. On the back cover it has Bulova m5 10kt rolled gold plate and on the bottom of the back it has this Number L11202. I opened the back and it has 5AR and states 23 jewels. It is not a wind up. Any ideas. I have looked and looked for it on the internet but can't find it. Thanks, Monica

Monica.
M5 would Date Your Grandmothers watch to 1965 (M=1960 + 5)
The 23 Jewel 5AR movement should be Manual winding ?
At the top of this page You will see an 'information' link and within the dropdown menu 'vintage Bulova ads'. Try searching through the 1960's ads on file to find a matching model or post a pic and someone will jump in and help.
