I'm trying to estimate the value of my Bulova watch, or at least to find out its model.
can you help ?
here it is.
The front side says: Bulova Automatic
In the movement it says:
LWD 283
Forty 40 jewels unadjuted
Swiss
Boluva 404
and the back of the case cover says:
823117
Thanks for your help

I have never seen a watch exactly like yours before. Nice watch & excellent movement. Keep your eye out for comparables on eBay & specifically Collectors Weekly. 20 years is young for a watch on this venue.
Bulova themselves could give you information. http://www.bulova.com/en_us
This would also be my recommendation as this wartch is still relatively new. Bulova should still have records as to its model.
Value = what you are willing to sell it for versus what someone is willing to buy it for.
There is no such thing as 'retail' value on second hand items and this includes watches. Some watches are more highly sort after than others, but this would not neccessarily be one of them.
A nice looking chrono all the same and worth a few bob.

As Wayne said, contacting Bulova direct and giving them the info on the watch is your best bet, most watches this new had no name, but usually a model # and was part of a series like the Marine Star. They should have records if it is only 20 years old.
Look on eBay and compare it to similar watches that have sold, that will give you an idea of its value.
