Watch Description

This is a beautiful 1968 Men's Dress Bulova that I was a bit surprised to find a women's movement inside. I've checked all the ads I can find and don't see it anywhere. It's a good looking tank...and a mystery. The Kreisler band suits it well.

Looks like you have the Banker 'BB'. I know it is a bit odd to find a lady's movement inside, but it is not uncommon with these smaller cases, especially those with no second hand.

Thanks. The lack of a second hand and nice low profile should have been a clue for me.

A very sharp looking watch.

I've had several mens watches over the year that had the smaller (womens) movement. This is a nice watch.
