Watch Description

Very happy to have picked this one up.  The First Lady "AC" in white, with blue dial and 8 aquamarine gemstones.  It is a very pretty model and surprising that Bulova put this in a gold filled case.  A lovely watch I will enjoy wearing.  I have to get another band for it because I botched getting this one to fit.

AWESOME Kathy!   Just love it. The Aquamarine is by far the best version.   Congrats.   I have been recently picking up some Caravelle ladies watches.   They made some awesome ladies watches also.  Great bargains but hard to find.   It seems funny how it seems we find very few of the very ornate Bulova's and almost none of the really bedazzeled diamond ones.  I have to believe the production numbers on these was quite small.

Thanks Jim!  I agree Caravelle has some nice models.  I have come close to buying a couple but haven’t just yet.
