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. The watch face is about 1 & 1/8 inch long and 5/8 inch wide. When the clasp is closed the band is about 4 1/2 inches long. Thanks for any info you have! Shelly | ||

Hi. I don't think you have a valuable watch other than for sentimental reasons. Looks to be mid 1920s, made of either chrome plated base metal or possibly plated white gold. There is an outside chance it's white gold but I don't think so. | ||

Thank you so much. As I was looking through more stuff, I found another Bulova watch that fits in the box much better. I also have found an old Girard Perregaux watch. It has a charm on the band that is the symbol for the Order of the Eastern Star. I also have some other OES jewelry here, but cannot find out much about it. Do you have any idea where I might be able to look for more info? Thanks! | ||

Have not heard of the OES stuff, sorry. |
