Need help with indentification on this Ladies Bulova watch. She has 20 diamonds and the case has 14 K Solid Yellow Gold.
Wow, nice one!
S/N on case suggests 1937. Can you confirm date stamp on the movement? An arrow would be 1937, and a crescent moon is 1938.
Have searched the database, and find no match. There were a bunch of diamond encrusted solid gold ladies watches in this time frame with very slight differences.
Unknown but still looking.

No symbol for date code. Just movement 6AL.
Although I found two sdverts, but I'm not sure either one
Audrey is 1938 and Molly Stark 1936

I looked at both of those a couple times, Jabs. Closest seems to be Audrey, which does seem to show the "step" with 2 (or 3) diamonds from lug to case.
Molly Stark is also close, but face and lugs don't seem to match.
I wonder if this Audrey ad is correct. Audrey - 1939 and after appears as engraved - no diamonds and plated instead of solid gold in ads and database.

That gave me pause, but it's always entirely possible there was a radical case change 37-38 or 38-39. Still looking.

the problem is that those adverts are drawings that may be inaccurate
In reply to the problem is that those by jabs
agreed. Here is a better 1938 ad for Audrey - no match
Gilda possibly

There is a similarity, but I think Gilda was platinum and had a Marquis cut diamonds at the lug transition to case.

After reviewing the comments, I got the watch out and looked at it again. I made an error in the Gold. The watch is 14K YELLOW GOLD, not white gold. The diamonds are set in either white gold or platinum. (In making the initial request I used the pictures instead looking at the watch.)
Hello TexasLady - welcome to myBulova. It looks like you've got quite the Bulova collection going! This is a wonderful little ladies watch.
I'm not really seeing anything exactly to match this one either, for now I'm seeing a Unknown Bulova.
