1950s Bulova Art-Deco Ref. L8

Overall Notes:
Cosmetic Condition: B- (Well worn with visible signs of use, scratches, and finish loss consistent with age).
- The watch is in working condition, with all functions appearing operational.
- All components are genuine Bulova, except the replaced strap and buckle.

Operating State:
- The movement has been fully serviced with disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and regulation.
- Keeping time precisely.

Condition Notes:
- Case: shows significant wear consistent with its age. The white gold-filled finish displays visible loss and scratching across all facets, most notably on the lugs and mid-case edges. The wide rectangular case with integrated angular lugs retains its architectural profile, though edges show considerable wear-through throughout. Some grime accumulation is present at the lug junctions.
- Dial: exhibits age-related darkening and toning across the grey/charcoal surface, with uneven fading and light spotting toward the center. The printed Arabic numerals and applied arrow-style hour markers are intact and legible, with the "BULOVA" text clearly readable. The silver-toned hands show expected surface aging but remain fully functional. The small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock features a distinctive grid surround detail.
- Crystal: shows visible haze and light scratches consistent with age. No cracks or chips are evident.
