Recently came upon this Bulova ladies wristwatch. I'm trying to get more info and maybe value of the piece. I cannot find another one like it anywhere! I have learned a few things about the piece:
It is marked Bulova on the face
On the back it is marked "Bulova 14K Gold" and "L5" which I have learned notes the year it was made which was 1955
Each link of the bracelet says "Speidel USA".
There are 4 diamonds.
Inside says "5AD" and "17 Jewels". I would really appreciate any info if anyone knows more about this piece.
Found some odd things on the back case. There are all sorts of numbers very lightly etched. Several sets. ?????? Then there is the Bulova 14K gold New York etching which is much darker and neater. Inside the piece it says "17 Jewels" and then "5AD" in a rectangle.
The "etched" nos. are in all likelyhood jeweller's service marks and the 5AD is the movement no. Where are the diamonds positioned? Looks like one in each of the the "eye" shaped parts, but where are the other two situated? If they are on the bracelet as I suspect, then it is probably the Cecile, with a dial variant, until proved otherwise... : )
Thanks to my wingman Will, for providing the ad backup on page one of this post! ;^)
"How do I set the camera to Macro settings? Sorry, not familiar with this. I can't get a good close pic because it keeps getting blurry on me."
That would depend on the camera. If you don't have the manual just google the manufacturer and model and you can probably download a pdf file.
