Watch Description

This is a 10KT yellow rolled gold plate 1959 ladies watch.  It is marked L9 on the caseback and movement.  It has a lumed Arabic hour markers and lumed hour and minute hands with a red second hand.  The lugs are definitely different than the similar watch in Unknowns.  These lugs are more T shaped.  I suspect it is some verion of a Nurse watch.

This is a very close ad.  It is from a 1960 ad in the vintage ad section.  

It is a 1960 Bulova Sea Queen.  This one is stainless steel but the ad does say radium dial and hands with sweep second.   It is not a clear picture and I wonder about the lugs but it is very close but for the color.

I think I finally found it and its one of my own unknowns!  Unmistakable Lugs.  1959 Navy Nurse "C" (new name for the DB) based on the 1958-1959 Line Book BAWD0136 page 88 of 130.
