Watch Description

Bulova Ladies Watch, I'd like to find out more specifics about it. I have worn it for special occasions what feels like forever. I can't find the face on other Bulova's but what seemed close was a "Bulova 23" model except mine does not say 23...

The face only says "Bulova" with a top and bottom diamond.

On the back it has:

Bulova M1
10k rolled gold plate
F552061

The stem is stamped "Bulova" and I can't see what the stamping says on each link of the strap.

I've worn this watch what feels like forever and it still runs and is very accurate.

Hi, it looks like the Diamond Dream "G" in yellow (with white around diamonds) is a good match.

I am seeing an 'M1' stamp on your watch back, which indicates a 1961 model. Nice that you have enjoyed the watch for many years.

I have also updated the record date to 1961.

The case s/n beginning with 'F' is consistent with others in the database for 1960/1961.

That's it! Thank you, I have been searching up and down in the wrong decade.

Nice ad match, Ken

The ends of the replacement band are a nice compliment to a great watch.
