Hello 9ballcookie, welcome to myBulova. What a great find this was. In the mid seventies Bulova teamed up with Christian Dior to market a line of solid gold fashion watches for men and women. This is a very nice example. I believe we would classify this as a 1972 'Dior'. Thanks for sharing it.

I agree, solid 14k Bulova for $5 is quite the find. I've located a 1973 ad showing this watch as the Christian Dior 'BN', looks to be a very good match:

Nice 1972 Christian Dior "BN" with that killer Gold Bark-Textured bracelet.  The movement model entry of "square" is a typo or min-entry.
