Think I found an ad on here identifying it as a Lady of Fashion "BN".

1971 Bulova Lady of Fashion BN it is. If the bracelet has the BULOVA name it's likely original.

1971 Line Book BAWD 0177 shows the name changed to boot!

I just looked and it does have "Bulova" on the bracelet clasp. Wonder what the "BJ" on the case back means. Is that factory or somebody's initials?

This from the 1973 linebook. I just noticed the linebook match for silver numbers and white markers on the dial

I wonder if this was a Lady Bulova in 1971, but in 72/73 was updated to Lady of Fashion?

At this stage though best bet is a 1971 Bulova Lady of Fashion "BN"
