Thanks for replying, the dial looks the same as that RN, watch band looks different and yes i believe the seconds hand is missing then.

Your band will be a replacement band. It is very common to have a replacement band and it does not take away from the watch at all.

Good pickup on the missing second hand Ken.
I think the R.N stands for "Registered Nurse", which explains the second hand and outer minute track numbering.
Linebook also lists this watch under the group name of "Nurses".
- Nightingale
- Cynthia
- R.N.
- Flight Nurse
- Mermaid
- Gray Lady
- Air Nurse
- Clara Barton
- Red Cross

Good match Ken, agree with R.N. with missing second hand.

That's a beauty and well worth replacing the missing seconds hand.

Hi Chrisi. Your watch should have a Bulova 6BMC 17 jewel movement inside. There's 2 of these complete movements for sale on ebay right now for $4.95 + $4 shipping and both have the seconds hand on them. You may want to grab one of them to get a seconds hand for your watch. That's going to be the cheapest way to obtain one I think plus you will have some more spare parts if ever needed.

1957 Bulova R.N. is a good match. Noting the missing second hand.
