Hi, I recently inherited 3 watches from my grandfather and not being a watch guy was wondering if anyone can give me an Idea of their significance.

Bulova Serial: J864029
M7

Thanks for your time :)

Should I put any time in bringing them to a watchmaker/jeweler? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated, Ive had no luck looking for info online :(

What do you mean significance? As family heirlooms, they're invaluable. As collectibles... not so much.

Thanks Kilyung, just thought the Bulova might have some value and worth restoring...the watch runs but as you can see needs some cosmetic care.

I'd get them fixed and wear them if the cost isn't prohibitive.

ill be honest, its def. gonna be cost prohibitive. so unless you really, really want to wear his watch its sort of a lost cause. just keep them to remember him by. :)

I would have the Bulova overhauled (if fiscally feasible), it looks like a classic time piece and a proper family heirloom.

The other two would be regulated to the bottom of a dresser drawer until I could figure just what they were and if of any value.
