Hello,

First off, I would like to tell the moderator thanks so much for all your help! You've helped a lot of people, and I think that is awesome.

Secondly, I have an old Bulova watch that we received from the estate of my husband's grandparents.

This watch was still in a dark pink (fushia?), and black velvet box. Inside the box, on the silky part inside the lid, it says: BULOVA, CASED and TIMED by BULOVA OBSERVATORY TIME. Fifth Ave---New York. In the corner of the inside of the lid, is a NRA sticker that says: Member NRA, We do our part, BULOVA.

The watch is sitting on a little black display thing that has a BULOVA sticker on it.

The watch is silver in color and I have found the following markings on it:

On the back of the watch, not on the inside of the case, but the outside: 245608.

When I lift the case to see the inside, I find the following markings:

BULOVA Watch Co.

6AF
Swiss
RS
Fifteen 15 Jewels

BULOVA Quality Pat June 10 1924
7187M or 7/87M (looks handwritten or engraved)
3072044

K20523 (I think, this is hand engraved as well, in green writing?)

Then, on the band, under the clasp, it says Krekler Duro Brite. The clasp still works.

The face of the watch is a yellowish ivory color (from age?) and says BULOVA and Swiss on it. The hands are a pretty blue color. There is some pretty decorations engraved on the front and sides, but I don't think there are any jewels on it. The winder part on the side has a picture of a flower on it.

I'm not sure if it works or not, I was too afraid to wind it.

I tried to give as much info as possible, because I have not been able to find another one online.

Thanks for any info you have!
