Anyone heard of a 7BU ?

Submitted by tedwar6010 on January 14, 2011 - 2:28am

 I recently purchased a ladies bulova wrist watch I believe is 1960 based on the M0 stamp on the movement. It is 17 jewel and it also says BXW. It says un adjusted swiss. I have looked all over online and can not find anything with the model 7BU. On the inside of the back it says 10k rolled gold plate bezel stainless back New York. I just want to know if I made a good purchase and some kind of background on the watch. I got it for $15.

Any vintage Bulova working or not is a bargin for $15 IMO.

Photos?

Does anyone know what BXW stands for....Bulova Exchange Watch movement maybe :-)

Im not sure if it works or not. It wasnt moving when I first got it but after I went home I opened it again to look more and I saw it moving just for a second. I can put pictures on of it when  I get home from work. It looks similar to the miss america model but not exactly. I own 2 new Bulovas and love them so when I saw this one I was really excited. I think I might have found a new hobby :)

Run / stop is a sign  that it needs a standard cleaning service. - reputable watchmaker, not the mall Jeweler......and buy a larger watch storage case, You're going to need it.

Welcome aboard.

 Wow!! That is amazing!  Your'e good, thank you so much. The closest I could find was the Goddess of Time but the Elizabeth is identical to mine. Awesome, I have to figure out how to make the picture file smaller and then I can add it. Thanks again.
