Watch Description

I'm not sure if this is 1971. There seems to be an N1 on the back. But it doesn't look like any of the other N1s I saw on display on this website.  There is a N0 on the movement. I can't find one that looks like this to identify the model. 14KT. is on the back after the stylized J. Bulova.  The face has dashes, no numbers.

It's always nice to see a first added to the site.

Your watch is a 1971 Bulova Golden Goddess "GJ" as seen here in an official Bulova linebook.

Thank you! 

Do you know whether they could have been sold with different bands?  I believe that I have an original band, though it's different than the one pictured.

With bands anything is possible as they are very easy to change, especially these style of ladies bands.

Thankfully we have a number of great resources courtesy of Bulova, which makes IDing over 1000 different watch models made between 1950 and 1980 that much easier.
