Watch Description

Please help me identify my watch!  I uploaded a pic of the back case.  Ladies watch inherited from my mother N6 on the back case.  I should have taken the pictures of the back before sending it off to be repaired.  It is a wind up and does not work currently. It is being overhauled and oiled and sent directly to Bulova to service.  I have bad pics of the movement but it is 6CL2.  Once i can get really good photos of the movement after it is serviced i will upload for further identification.  I have searched the web and cannot find the name of this style at all.  Gold plated on the outside and stainless steel back.   The Laurel 1970 advert is really stretching it but it isn't too far off.  I just found this one on this website today.  Could be the Laurel or the Debut.  This is a hard one I think.... Any and all help in this is greatly appreciated!

If it is the H variant according to the advert it would have to be a version in white, so that would have to be ruled out.  The closest match i have seen to date is "Debut" G in yellow.  Yes the mounts are different for the bracelet.  Thank you for looking and this is very close.  Could we call it the Debut or is there just not enough info?  I have searched alot everywhere and i cannot find anything with this movement number or dial shape. Very interesting.

Hello
I have been searching for weeks online to find anything that looks like the watch above. Well dear Lord in heaven I have actually stumbled upon the one and only other image I have been able to find at all. It is listed for sale on posh Mark and I have emailed the individual asking how they acquired it and what they know about the model!! I would be glad to submit photos of what I saw online but I don’t know how to do that.

Thanks for the tip. That is by far the closest I have come to finding out the model name. My iPhone took some bad photos of the movement. I wish I had better photos. The band is broken and will likely have to replace. Would getting a new band cause a problem with the originality?  Should I stick with as close to the band as original?  Or does that even matter?  Thanks so much!

Hello dvuksicharris, welcome to myBulova, it is a fine looking ladies watch you've brought us. I think you are very fortunate to have this wonderful keepsake from your mother. I also don't think putting a new band will have a negative impact on the value.

In terms of ID I really don't see anything to match. I will have to say Unknown for now.

Unknown...but with that bezel shape and those unique lugs, it should be easy to ID once an ad surfaces.

Not able to find any matches in our current ads; these later 70s watches can sometimes be harder to identify due to Bulova's transitioning from model names to model numbers, as well as a lack of ads from this era. Unknown model.

Hello to all. I have been doing some research on my watch. I have looked around everywhere but I think I could’ve narrow this down to a couple of models. The concerto model has very close to the same fleur-de-lis pattern. Any help would be appreciated.
