What is the push button on the side for?
Jesus I can't believe no one answered this guy with even an "I don't know." in 6 years.
If it's like my watch, it's for synchronizing the second hand. If you press the button on the minute mark from the NIST time web site, when your watch is ten seconds fast, the second hand will stop for ten seconds. This makes your watch match the time clock. The really cool thing is if your watch is SLOW, if you press the button on the minute mark when your watch is twenty seconds behind the NIST time web site, the second hand will SPEED UP until it matches the NIST time. Very cool and this is **totally from my memory** because I just got my watch back from Bulova but I forgot to ask about the button.

Take it to a local jewelery store and they will do it for about $15. Joe

Since the serial number (E66289) begins with a letter, the watch was made in the United States. (Serials that begin with a number indicate the watch was made in Switzerland.) Look at the back again and see if there's a two-character code, such as M2. Compare the code against the list on the following link to find the year of manufacture: http://www.thewatchguy.com/pages/BulovaSerial.html
If it's an Accutron, visit this site to see if it's a 214. He's got a wealth of info on 214s! Good luck!

If you go to http://www.bulova.com/service/servicecenter.aspx, you will be able to locate the nearest service center, who will be able to advise you. (incidentally, after such a long time idle, it may need servicing).

mcdevito75 here, You will need a screwdriver to use in the slot for the battery cover or a coin, once you have the tool for the slot turn the cover just a bit and lift it off to get to the battery.

mcdevito75 here, Bulova Accutron, nice watch, of course there are many, many factors that go into the value of any watch, depending on Maker, Model, Condition of the watch also. I would figure your Bulova Accutron is in the area of $125.00------- $200.00 range. Your best bet is to find a jeweler in your area or an appraiser, even online for the latest value of your watch.
