Watch Description

1973 Bulova ________? I cannot find this model in any of the Line Books I've scoured so far, I have a couple yet to look through. It's remarkable that for all the information we received from Bulova we STILL have an Unknown Model from this era, but I fear this will be one more. Case is classic 1973 shape, like all the President and Beau Brummel models. Small Diamond at 12 & 6 on a jet black dial. Duchess bracelet with black inserts is similar to the Oceanographer N model as well as the "Woody" Accutron makes this a gorgeous watch, one of my favorites.

Design certainly fits within the Bulova President line, but the diamond dial could put this into another model category.

The Beau Brummel "BB" is close but without the day/date function. Not seeing any Beau's with day/date feature.

A mystery to be solved.

Thanks Stephen! I had trouble downloading the Line Books from SYNC, #184 kept failing to open so I went back into WIDEN to get it and you beat me to it. I wondered if those inserts were Corfam, I kind of though they were.....
