Nice one, Geoff. I had the same model on straps a few years ago. For the benefit of record keeping, here is an image of the inside case back.

Note: It appears to be a different case maker than the 1967 Ambassador (Central, Biel) but this watch also has a 3-digit number stamped inside a rectangle. I wonder if it is a Bulova-specific marking...some way of the case makers denoting the tally of deliveries on specific contracts?

Great watch Geoff. I had one brand new in 1971 but it went missing around 1975 and now I am looking for another one for old times sake. It was my first cool watch, I was around 18 when I bought it for $125 in Canada.  If you have any idea where I might find one, if you know someone selling or if you decide to sell please keep me in mind.  Cheers, Mike.
