Watch Description

Lady's 14KT White Gold with 8 Diamonds. Movement stamped: L6.  Love these Lugs.

I have search the ads without any results.  Perhaps it's in the Line Books. It does look similar to my watch:  1954 Diamond Empress.

(Watch came with a Bulova Warranty signed by the Jewelry store dated 12/25/61. States: 8 Dia., 3E51817, S E MEX, 17 J)

with this info,  this watch has possible movement swap out/change to 23 instead of the 17 J, as per warranty information.

Possible this should have 21 J movement.

I was unable to find a match in the early linebooks. Hard to say if the original movement was 17 or 21; 23 jewels typically had '23' on the dial. Maybe another member here will find a match. Nice looking design.

Nice one, I like the "basket" lugs. Same here, no luck finding a match.
