I believe that this is a 1971 Beau Brummel. I don't have an origin story other than it belonged to my father.
Movement and case dated 1958 (L8). Two tone dial and yellow gold case with yellow gold back.Diamonds on odd numbered indices.
1958 Beau Brummel "H".
Watch looks like it was seldom worn. Keeps near perfect time.
I got this watch a few months ago scrolling on ebay. It had a broken hairspring when I got it and the case and crystal were in rough shape. After sourcing the correct hairspring I was able to replace the crystal and clean up the white gold case and now the watch looks brand new. The movement date code is M7 and the case is 10k white gold filled, and has an M6 date code.
Just picked this one up; it's a front loader and at this point I'm not comfortable attempting to open it. Yellow gold plated case is dated L8. I am pretty confident this is a Beau Brummell variant previously unseen/unknown. The case and diamond configuration is the same as the "QQ" , "RR" (yellow) and the "SS" (white), but the face is different. Rather than tiny indents and raised plugs around the perimeter, this one is a "pizza dial" with gold lines on the cream colored dial.
This was one of those watches that made me say "wow", when I open the box up. Classic 1950's understated elegance and in excellent presumed unrestored original condition, a few light crystal marks - keeping time.

1958 Beau Brummel "A"
per the 1958/59 Bulova Line Book
I puchased this 1960 Beau Brummel from an online estate auction. The case is 10K gold filled and the band is branded Speidel. I believe it to be an RR variant. The picture of the watch in the case is prior to being serviced. The other photo is after cleaning and service by Randall Zadar at Cleveland Watch Repair. Additional photos of the watch disassembled and during service can be seen at: https://www.clevelandwatchrepair.com/bulova-10bz-overhaul/
1970? Beau Brummel AX - Case dates N0, movement dates N2. Non original Kreisler band but looks nice on the watch
Another piece of cake 1949 Brea Brummel Case and crystal in good shape..needs a redial and 1 diamond is missing
I believe this watch is a 1968 Beau Brumell calender watch,with a 10 KT GF gold case,with diamond face. It is marked 23 jewels and self winding on the face.
