I know I need to luminate the hands. lol It was completly torn apart, cleaned , Oiled and I had to replace the dial . Runs great and accurate.
Looks like it originally was either a Yankee or Midnight Clipper based on the case and it being a 17-jewel automatic. The current dial would have come from one of the Bulova 23 models. Not sure how we would id this one, since the color of the original dial would determine which Clipper model it may have originally been. Do you still have the original dial?

Yes. It is a two tone. Grayish and champaigne. It was in really bad shape . Isn't the 17 jewel with the Rotor (selfwinding) actually make it 23 ?
[/quote] My Mistake it was not as stated above.
Bulova top and Selfwinding on bottom
It is a white dial, with gold markings. Numdered 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
The markings seemed to be raised higher than usual.

It's a fine looking watch, I like this dial style. Knowing that the dial from a "23" has been placed on a 17 jewel (Clipper?) movement makes it impossible to ID as one or the other.
We must classify this watch as Non-Conforming as it is a hybrid of at least two different model. It's still a really nice looking watch though.
