what kind of Bulova is this?

Submitted by mnkris10w on August 10, 2010 - 1:05pm

Hi, I was going thru a box of "junk" when I came upon a repair envelope from a jewelry store, inside was my great grandmother's bulova watch. It has what looks to be a plate of gems on the side and the 2nd plate of gems was off of the watch (I think this is what my mother was trying to repair).

I've searched the internet for anything like this watch and am coming up empty. Any help you can give as to what kind of watch this is, would be greatly appreciated.

I do have pictures of it listed on my profile here as 1958 unknown.

oh and it also is engraved, to Angeline from your co-workers. Maybe she recieved it when she retired? I have no idea, but it's pretty fancy I'm guessing. And it says Bulova L8 10k rolled gold.

Thanks!
Kris

Hi - if you open the back of the watch you will find a code on the movement like 7AP or 10AN.  This is the model number of  the movement - you will also be able to see how many jewels the movement has.  The writing is pretty small so you may have to use a magnifying glass to see it clearly. Hope this helps.

cheers
