Preliminary diagnosis in Wimbledon. But see below.
The case is 14K gold filled and marked "Bulova New York". Getting a picture of the case back was very challenging because the case doesn't want to open up all the way and I didn't want to force it. The movement is a 15 J 8AT.
So if you guys accept this as a Wimbledon I think it would be a first for the database. A search doesn't turn up any and, in fact, I don't even think there were any 8AT movements.
I couldn't find an ad on the site. My identification is based upon an identical watch at watchophilia.com. The watch there is the same year and the same movement. The watch has an ad that is paired with it. I can supply the link if you wish.
Looks like a match to me. Wimbledon was actually a ladies "Sports Model"; larger in size than the norm of the era for women's watches. I personally would wear it.
Nice snag, congrats! Condition appears to be exceptional, with lots of service markings inside case.

This one is definitely a little smaller than the Dictator you and I were talking about the other day. Its a lot smaller than the President from about the same era.
Having said that, it definitely isn't so small that you'd wear it and someone without any previous knowledge about such things would look at it and say, "ladies watch".
