Watch Description

May have another odd ball on my hands. Case is marked M3. It appears to be a 1963 Senator but the movement is marked L9 for 1959

Nice looking watch. Hard to tell in photo, is it yellow or white gold?

1963 Bulova Senator "U" based on case with possible movement replacement.

Senator 'U' case, and noting the yellow dial is not original to this white case (should have white markers and hands), so very likely the movement and dial came from the 1959 donor.

Good call Ken, the marker difference escaped me. Likely a marriage of a "G" and "U"

The movement is clearly 1959 but nothing there matches the face but the 1963 G model does have the gold numbering on the white face. Like I said....looks like another odd ball

Yes Senator "U" is better choice
