Bulova watch fake or real?

[Benhuntn]

Hey all,

I am new here and today I was out MD and found a watch about 4" down. It cleaned up nice and may even run if I can get a battery for it. My question is can anyone tell me if it is fake or real?
It doesn't really matter as I am just stoked and finding something besides pennies.

closer pictures including Links, face and back side will help more.

super cool find though!

Thanks for the reply I cleaned it up and took more pics.

Cool find either way!!!

Take it to a watch battery place and have them open it and take a look! A new battery might just make it work! I'm almost sure it's a battery watch, there are no chrono buttons. I might be wrong though. I'm use to playing with the real old stuff, so I couldn't tell if it is fake or not. Better pics might help some one to help. Even of the back. like mentioned by Bquamb.

I posted the same time you posted pics. Looks good!

If you can get 1 last picture of the very back showing model or serial/ other info that would be a huge help, really looks nice even if a fake, writing looks good, spacing on links is a bit looser than I thought, but a true watch repair place will be able to tell almost instantly upon opening.

1 last picture please =) nothing in the way of the back plate.

Looks good, hope it is real. I've found some bodies with no bands, some odds and ends but no full watch of any kind yet.

I don't think anyone fakes bulova watches but I could be wrong.

 

[Brother Al]

I am absolutely , 100% positive, completely certain that you found a real watch!
