Watchlords

The little numbers under the bigger one is m5
The watch also is solid 18k

I love this forum.
The members here, the watches they have and the knowledge they bring is tops.

Oh Hodinkee......

I found the picture I alluded to on page 1-it only took two years...
Sadly it is not the model in question.

I have another one of these! I am the owner of the watch another user posted from the mybulova.com forum. It belonged to my grandfather, who was a bomber pilot in WW2 and the president of Southern Cross Mattress in the late 1960s. It sat on my dad's dresser from 2012 until early 2019, when it caught my eye while I visited home to be with my grandmother while she was in hospice. She died just a couple days later, and wasn't able to tell me anything about the watch. So, we know nothing about how he got it! His initials are engraved on the back, though. I've gone through many of their belongings, and have found no documentation or letters related to the watch. I wish I knew more, but I feel so incredible grateful to have this piece of his legacy. And so glad I found this forum! I have some much higher resolution photos now, but am having some trouble figuring out how to post them here. Here is one from the mybulova forum

Hi there, new member. Great story of your watch, and I hope you read page one of this thread to see another great Bradley Accutron posted by Jpt. I have sent him an email just now, asking for more photos of his watch, as like yours it appears to be the real thing with patina and original finish as well as the 'tight' star formation, unlike the one on Hodinkee, which has a badly refinished dial and incorrect N9 for 1979 date. There have been no replies or corrections on Hodinkee, except for that dimwit Accutronitis stating the obvious...
I contacted Stephen at myBulova with regards to the other genuine model here, and he agreed with my take on the Hodinkee example. I am surprised he hasn't added them to your thread over there.

To post photos, you should try using postimage.cc to upload, or another similar third party app.

And welcome to Watchlords, have fun!

I have no idea of the value of these but 18ct gold and the Provenance of it could fetch between 2k to 15k. I would contact an auction house to get an estimate.

Doses any one have a recommended auction house

^^^That- and all the provenance you have that it actually belonged to Bradley- I suspect that there might be even stronger interest from militaria collectors than in the watch market.
