Watch Description

Here is a real interesting watch and a first for the database and a new name RONDO not in the database.   Confirmed model in the 1969 LineBook BAWD0172 page 48

1969 Bulova Rondo "E"

The case is an unusual three piece configuration.  The movement, crystal, inner bezel and stainless case back, push thru the outer heavily brushed yellow gold plate bezel as a self contained module.   The dial is silver with yellow gold applied hour markers with black inserts and printed Bulova.  The hands are yellow gold also with black inserts.   The case back is stainless and has an M9 date code.   The movement is a 17J 6CL also with an M9 date code.   The watch came in an orange felt Goddess of Time box which I do not know if it was original.  The strap is an old brown leather one and replaced the original black corafom one.

This one is a ladies model.   You won’t believe this but I won an auction on eBay and I paid $0.01 plus shipping.  I was the only bidder. SMH!   I am actively looking for new models for the DB.  I think I got another one too but I need to do a little more research.
