Watch Description

This is a Bulova 23 but with a worn back.   The only thing I can make out is the serial number and a few letters of Bulova.   It is a 10BPAC movement with stainless case, white dial and white gold arrow hour markers.  Same watch as this one which was identified as a Bulova 23 "P" possibly. Kind of confirms this is a factory configuration vs the suggestion of a marriage.  Based on the serial number I think this is a 1954 or 1955 but not sure.

Bulova 23, unknown variant or possible non-original dial. There are several variants not yet identified, but this dial does not match the 'B'.

The caseback looks to be marked L8 inside - so a 1958 case. There is a datestamp on the movement, but I cannot see it clearly in the photo.

Great looking watch.  With the gap in the years I am going to go with the case date.
