Watch Description

Ok, here is another tough one that may end up being unknown...   Once again, I'm very happy with another find that is still keeping good time.  I've googlefoo'd for some time, looked at all the adverts here and can't find an exact match.  There is an exact match in the database here: http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1965-unknown-7282  with an "M5" stamp like mine.  The one on ETSY has a "M4" stamp that looks exactly like mine with the same 10CL movement.  The case back is the same as 66 Banker and Counselor.  The dial and hands look nearly identical to the 66 counselor.  Both of these models have the 10CL movement.  I've yet to see a match for the lugs though..  There have been some new additions to the advertisements for this timeframe and I scanned those too.  Maybe someone has seen one of these somewhere or there is a yet to be discovered advertisement with this thing in it..I don't know LOL.  However, I'm uploading to provide another example of this model.  I'm working on my presentation as I know it is lacking..LOL  I'm going to do a little research lighting etc like all the pros here seem to have perfected. :-).. Thanks for your time again folks!

Best Regards,

Rick

After seeing the one below identified as a 1965 Counselor and considering the exact match of movement, jewels, lugs and dial etc.  Any chance of getting mine identified as another example of the 66 couselor as well?

Thought it worth the ask.

Thanks!

I believe this one to be a 1965 Banker "A" based on the 1965 Line Book BAWD0159-2 page 44 of 85.
