Watch Description

This is a 1938 ladies Bulova with a 17 jewel 6AE movement in a 10k rolled gold plated case. I think it still has the original band. It's running at +2sec/day, which isn't too bad for a watch that's 85 years old in my opinion. I'm planning on giving it to my granddaughter who is 22 years old and loves antique things. Hopefully it will have a home for a long time with her.

100% agree with your watch being a 1938 Bulova Catolyn. What a great gift for your granddaughter (especially is she appreciates the older things).

What an awesome gift for your granddaughter.  Your ID looks spot on and with the original band is awesome.
