Watch Description

This is a ladies Bulova in a 14k white gold case with 2 diamonds. I think it's the Cecile, but there's not another one on here to compare it to. It has a "L1" 5AD movement with 23 jewels. The Cecile ad shows 17 jewels. Possibly the movement was replaced sometime in the past. It has just been serviced and came with a 6 months warranty. My photos aren't the greatest on this watch and I apologize for that.

It seems, given our uncertainty that Non-Conforming is the best choice?

Based on the unique casing, I'm still inclined to name based on case date noting movement swap; but will go along with panel  consensus.
