Hi Granty, thanks for adding your watch. The Bulova Longchamps have always been a bit of a mystery for us over the years.

Bulova makes no mention of them in their linebooks and finding adverts is extremely hard.

So with this in mind we generally just ID them by the name on th dial.

Any photos of the movement. We might be able to identify what crown it needs by the movement model.

Nice watch! Here is another in the database on the same band that is hallmarked on the inside of case as 9K gold. Opening it up would be beneficial. A photo of the movement and inside case back information 

Here is another, with a great bit of possible info identifying the "Longchamp" naming.

Cool I will try to remove the back to read the codes and symbols. I've looked but can not see the tiny slit that's in the case to flip up the back case?

I don't think it unloaded through the case back. I suspect you will need a jeweler or watch maker to open in as the movement probably comes out though the crystal side.

1974 Bulova Longchamp is a good ID

Yer the face gives it away lol but I guess looking about the Internet there becoming a bit of a rare find. The overall condition is not perfect by any means but I'm trying to find as much info as possible. Opening the back would reveal a lot more information cheers

Finally on this model the front face comes off and not the rear looks like its had a bit of water damage. Can someone explain the numbers I understand it's 17 and is it 9ct gold woukd that also apply to the strap??
