November 1978 ad and 1979 confirming La Petite model existed at this date.   Still a 23J according to the ad in 1978  It would appear that in 1979 the La Petite was downgraded with a 17J movement per the 1979 ad to lower costs.Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi) · 23 Nov 1978,  The Selma Times-Journal (Selma, Alabama) · 8 Nov 1979,

Jim,  Did the 1979 at say La Petite in the ad anywhere?  If so I am with you on the ID.  If not I am not sure, maybe tenative.

[/quote] The 1979 ad did not mention La Petite unfortunately.

1979 catalogue does indeed still show this watch. It does not give it a name but we know that it went by La Petite previously.

1977 linebooks still lists these as La Petites.

I'm IDing as a 1979 Bulova La Petite.
