Watch Description

This appears to be a Bulova 23.  It is a 10kt yellow gold plate case with stainless steet back.  The back date code is L6 and the movement is a 10BPAC 23J movement.   Seems to match this 1958 Bulova 23 "Selfwinding" ad.

Appears to be a "G" variant, like this one.

 Bulova 23 "G"

Question: What is the date code on the movement? This is the only post 1956 "23" I recall ever seeing with "six adjustments" on the face. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that this face text was a 1955/56 thing.

[/quote] Good eye unlike my bad eye.  The date code on the case back is actually L6 and the date code on the movement is L5.  You called it!  Can you correct my listing.
