Watch Description

Was my grandmother's watch and was handed down to me. I don't know much about this watch, so have searched thousands of photos looking for more information and could not find anything. Would appreciate any information you find.

Lovely watch. Could you confirm the number of diamond settings. It looks like there are 10 total?

Welcome to myBulova!  You have a very beautiful heirloom from your grandmother. 

There were several different diamond lines in the 1970's.  I have looked through what is available and did not find a match to your watch yet.

Unknown for now but will keep my eyes open for a match.

I also come up with no ID,

Unknown for now.

Possibly from the La Petite, Starburst, Dior series, but no matching advert found.

I guess without further information I'd be inclined to ID as Unknown although a tentative "Bulova 23" ID is also possible.

Close but this watch has 10 diamonds and the band appears to be original and different to the ad band.

Here is an ad but no name, Letter D in the ad.  A $350 watch in 1974 is equivalent to $1800 today, a very nice watch indeed!

This is on a page in the 1974 Line Book BAWD0190 Spring Collection page 52 called a Diamond Caress with four other watches.
