Watch Description

This appears to be a 1956 Bulova Ranger based on the previous attribution of this 1955 watch.  https://www.mybulova.com/watches/1955-ranger-8400  

It is a yellow gold case with a stainless case back with a L6 Date code.  The movement is an 11AC 17J movement.  It is quite a large case at 37MM x 28MM.  It has a silver dial with yellow gold hour markers.  The case has the engraved bezel runing on each side.    Unfortunately I cannot find an ad.  Just the crystal ID.

I agree with Ranger.

Here is a poor quality image grabbed from the internet some time ago showing a NOS version:

Based on the crystal and Ken's nice NOS tag I would agree with Ranger.
