Perhaps the initial name in the model drop down list should be "Diamond Starburst" instead of "Starburst" as there are  ads calling the model line out as such. Then list subcategories as "Diamond Starburst"  (generic unk variant) followed by "Starburst A, B, C" and so on. Make sense for organization?

As discussed on the other post I think I am leaning toward these being Diamond Starburst.

I feel Bulova would have included Diamond in the Starburst name if that was the proper model name it was using for it, just like it did with the Diamond Caress in this 1972 ad showing both lines together, and this offsite 1972 ad. The 70s naming structures can sometimes be difficult to understand or follow, but so far all we have in a few ads or what may be an official model list from Bulova is the name without Diamond. My inclination is to not include Diamond in the name. The Diamond Starburst Collection is just that, a collection of diamond watches called Starburst. Maybe along the way we will uncover other evidence that there were non-diamond watches in this 70s collection, and can hash out a better distinguishing naming structure at that time, if need be.

No way to know for sure, but possibly the non-diamond ones are 'Sunburst' as per previous ad.

Panel, can I confirm that we giving this the "H" variant based on the advert which seems to show the white gold version. Is the subject watch yellow/natural gold, which might imply a different variant?

It's 100% a Starburst, I just want to confirm the variant is "H" and not something else.

I'm going with Starburst "G" assuming yellow gold version as per this advert.

Need to recalabrate my screen :-) Is looking very yellow but now I see that it is indeed white gold.

H variant it is.
