This sweetheart has been in my collection for a couple years. In original clamshell and 23 marked gold cardboard box with original tissue paper. Back and movement marked "L7". I opened case when I received it to make sure it was correct, and it is. Jeweler sticker was stuck on box partially obscuring Bulova sticker. This was represented to me as new old stock from a closed store and it sure looks that way. Only thing missing from this package is the string tag. Band is a scissor center mesh JB Champion, and like the watch it is literally pristine.
Dial is uniform gold and does not have the lighter ring with date numbers like the '55 and '56 models depicted in the database. Watch listed for $125 in 1955-57, which adjusted for inflation would be $1,093 in 2017. Pretty expensive watch for the day.
1957 Bulova 23 Calendar, nice one.
