Very nice with the original band.  Nice to have both colors in the DB.

My eye sight must be going bad. The crystal on the line book "Dolly Madison" looks rectangle to me with straight ends. And the crystal on the subject watch appears to me to have curved ends. The lugs on the line book "Dolly Madison" look further away from the edges of the crystal than the lugs on the subject watch to me. The case on the line book "Dolly Madison" appears to have a triangle design to it pointing down to the winding crown. And I'm seeing "21 jewel" movement in the description in the line book.

Your eyes seem pretty good to me. I agree with your assessment. I was going by the lugs.

What a subtle difference, good catch. I think the curved areas better match the GOT "X".

 Good pickup, Jim, 1958 Bulova Goddess of Time "X"

On what sure appears to be the original band.

Excellent detective work JimDon. That's a match, right down to the little pyramids on the dial.
