The case looks to be a white version of the Bulova 23 'J' variant, but the dial is much different. I do not find a matching variant for this particular one, but it would appear to be part of the Bulova 23 line.

Ive seen yellow gold case with silver hands/markers but not white gold case with yellow hand/markers but there again I have not seen this style of case in 14kt white gold before . Not had this long trying to find info is a nightmare but I guess its a Bulova J 14kt white gold case self winding 6 adjustments and be happy with that lol .

Very nice watch, I like this case style. I would tag it as a "23" too but without a variant designation. It does seem odd that the markers are yellow gold.

I agree, it's a "23" but variant is an unknown for now.

Confirming variant.  1956 Bulova 23 "X".  It does not say white gold but everything else matches except a small variation on the 1/2/4/5/7/8/10/11 markers.

The case does state 14K Gold. I do question the dial being different and potentially a different variant.

Could just be a newspaper render thing.

Not sure it helps but the 1958 price guide only has 1 Bulova 23 at $150 and that's the 'DW" variant.

"IW" and "KW" are priced at $175.

All could be totally different watches by 58.

 1956 Bulova 23 "X" looks like a match. Great ad find!

Not sure I'd update this one, the dial just doesn't match to my eye
