Watch Description

Marking on rear of case: Bulova, N3, 10K R.G.P. Bezel, Stainless Steel Back, R517454. Marking on movement: Bulova Watch Co., 6CL, Swiss, N6, 17 Seventeen Jewels, Unadjusted. There is no export code on the movement. It looks like the original movement was replaced with a later N6 movement. Does that mean that this watch is a "Frankenbully"?
