Error on Manufacture Year: should be 1969 (M9), not 1979.

I looks to be a Golden Goddess but I cannot find an exact match to the dial and case.

I could only find a non-diamond version.

Still looking to see if Bulova made a version of this watch with the diamonds. They may be a custom add-on.

Does this mean this watch will be "Non-Confirming"?

I found the exact watch band in the photo above.

It does not appear to be non-conforming.   It appears to be a model and/or variant that we do not have documentation for.   Most likely a variant of the Golden Goddess which we will continue looking for.   In these cases we might classify it as Unknown but by no means does that indicate this is not a factory model.  I am very confident this is the way it came from the factory.

There is another variant listed as "GJ" and "GK", which is the same as the above watch but with a mother-of-pearl dial and a slight variation in the hour markers....alas still no diamonds.

I looked all over and between 1967-1973 and the Bulova Golden Goddess "Y" is the only match but without diamonds.   I am with you Stephen thinking this might be a 1969 Golden Goddess "Y" with jeweler added diamond accents.

Same here...unable to find this model with diamonds. I'm thinking Unknown at this time, though it could be the same as the ad with the modification to add diamonds.

TL, is it possible that the diamonds look to be added?
