Watch Description

This one seems not to have been worn much  as the (original?)  band/buckle shows very little wear and the case, dial and crystal look almost mint. It is similar to that submitted by Andyuk , https://mybulova.com/watches/1965-unknown-5048?page=1, and later referenced with  "1966-1967 Line Book BAWD0164 Page 7 of 66".   except that this one has  a silver  engine turned  dial ,The case is marked Bulova International and like  my  other 'Unknown',  the case date, M5 differs from the movement's  date, M7. So another unknown.

I went back to the line book to see if there was another option for dial on this one, but only one is listed (as referenced in the link).

This may be an Unknown or perhaps it can be placed in the International category, since I see no import code.

What a lovely watch!  The dial is so unique.  Not in the line book so I would be inclined to go with International.

Yes, apart from it looking in such great condition,  just had to have it as it was sold by a hospice charity, not the local one that cared for my wife  who actually worked for Bulova  in London  in the 60's, and was  glad for the cash to go to  such  a deserving  cause .

I am not sure if we classify watches as International but clearly an international model from the1966-1967 Line Book BAWD0164 Page 7 showing the yellow gold dial version.  I believe we agreed this line book was international models.

We have this watch in a line book WITH a model number. I suggest we tag it with our new naming convention Model 111002

BAWD0164 Pg 7

For the record I don't think I'd call the dial treatment 'engine turning' as that really is different. I wish Bulova would have mentioned it in the Line book but they didn't, I really like the look!

Agreed with grouping it in the 'International' model ID.

I tend to agree with listing this one as

1965 International Perhaps use the model number as the variant in the International category?
