Watch Description

Unsure of year or model - have been unable to exactly match style of numerals to suspected models on this site. Looks like Her Excellency, but the style of numbers on the face is of a late-Deco.

Any clues? I've just bought this, it's en route, so I can't look at it any closer until arrival :)

Agreed, C.
Fantastic ad.

Maybe "C", maybe not.  Sure looks like C.  I'm gonna wait till QuothWinter gets the watch and gives us some info like metal content, etc...  the "C" above is the cheapest price in this ad. If subject watch is solid gold, this is inconsistent with that price, IMO.

also, the ad doesn't give the Case colour of the "C" variant.

'HER EXCELLENCY'

It's supposed to be 10k white gold filled... I'll keep you posted.

Can't wait! Thank you.

We have an ad showing this also available in wink and white gold, but does not  list anyt variants.

It's certainly a "'HER EXCELLENCY" at a minimum.

Agree with Her Excellency but I don't think the ad is clear enough to determine variant.

Sadly, this is going to remain a mystery - the USPS has eaten it, and someone who is not me has a lovely Bulova :(

I need to find something else to start the collection....

Don't give up...get your money back from the seller and find another...there are tons of these old lady Bullys out there, and many go cheap because everyone is focused on the gents watches.

I must have 20-30 lady Bullys around here that are in nice shape, but may need servicing, because I too am focused on the gents models and... they are to dam small for me to work on them. ;-)

Oh I haven't given up :)

I have a refund, but I did rather like that lady.

I'm eyeing off a few older models now.
