Watch Description

Love the scalloped dial on this one as opposed to the more common sunburst.  There is no date code on the outside of case back, but it is on the inside of case back.

Thank you for posting your watch.  This is an interesting one.  My gut makes me believe this to be a 1960 Bulova 23 "QAW" based on the 1961 Linebook BAWD0147.   It is really hard to tell in the line book picture if the dial is textured like yours but everything seems to match so I would say it is most likely lost in the photo image.

This one is a little different. Case shape is unique. Still looking for a match, but would say it's part of the Bulova 23 series.

Based on unique case shape, 1960 Bulova 23 "QAW" gets my vote as well.

I'll go with 23 "QAW". Hard to tell if the dial is with or without any texture, but I would think this pattern would stand out in a photo.

Also, in 1963 this group of models was called the VV/YY/WWW; also unable to see the dial texture. In 1964 these fall under the Regatta 23 Q/QQ/NN
