Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your watch with us.  It is a really lovely model.

Thank for your help but my case doesn’t look like that, it’s a good case with a silver and gold band

Your band is a replacement band which is very common.  The bands wore out long before the watch would and were replaced.   While it is nice to have an original band it does not take away from it to have a replacement band.

Do you by chance know what band it is?

The bracelet will (should) have the makers mark somewhere on the underside of the clasp.

Original band as purchased new is as shown in the linebook illustration. Maker is unknown by me.

Bulova used many different band brands including their own Bulova bands.  The linebooks do not list band brands so unless we get a watch for ID with an original band there is no way to know.
