I do feel a bit like a broken record: Amazing watch but I don't see a match.

That watch was IDed tentative by the box alone.  For consistency I would suggest these be grouped together as Diamond Empress or as Unknowns.  With no supporting ads I would be included to go with Unknown with the amount of cases I see for sell on eBay.  Although I am happy to go with the consensus.

Yes, I know it was tentatively ID'd by the box alone in 2017, which caught my attention. I came across it by accident when ID'ing my two of my other Diamond Empress'.

However, it was ID'd and put in the DB as the "Diamond Empress"  without any supporting Bulova ad(s). Just thought it was strange.

It appears this model by 1963 was changed to La Petite "RRR" according to the 1963 Line Book BAWD0151 page 22.  The only difference I can see is the position of 23 on the dial.
