Ladies 1964 Oval 23 Jewel 14k White Gold
Lovely watch, looks like the original band as well.
1964 Bulova Golden Goddess "H"
I bought this watch off eBay on 10/10/2023 for my daughter's Bday coming up - I likely paid to much. All the seller knew was she bought it from a high-end estate sale. I plan to take it up to have it cleaned / polished and the back engraved: "WITH LOVE FROM FATHER". I'll be asking the jeweler to open the back and take photos of the insides for me too. I'll update here when I get that additional information from the insides. It didn't come with its box but I bought a light blue with white lettering "La Petite 23 Jewels" box from a different eBay seller.
I am sure it isn't the correct box but I think my daughter will like it. She is a big fan of "Queen's Gambit" and she loves when Beth's mom gives her a Bulova watch for her graduation present. She just told me a few days ago, "that the kind of watch I want"! She wishes, I provide. Plus turning 20, a young lady needs a watch with some style ;-)
I'd love to be able to share any information I can find out about the watch with my daughter (she is like me and LOVEs old things). I am guessing it was one of their cheaper models as it doesn't have any diamonds mounted.
@Kathy L. - that was so fast posting about the watch!
Clearly I overpaid by a LOT if someone (you?) is selling it at $29.95 - oh well.

Those prices are from the in-house Bulova catalog from 1964.
$29.95 was dealer cost (either yellow or white) with retail being $71.50. Figuring for inflation, the watch would cost $709 today (new)
Very nice watch. Welcome to Mybulova and thanks for sharing. I found your treasure in the 1964 Linebook156
1964 Golden Goddess "H"
Congrats! a first for the database!

Golden Goddess "H" is a good match; looks to be the original band. Should make a nice gift.
I just posted a advert I found on eBay - it looks to be the same watch - very cute and for a "birthday girl" too!
I wanted to post another photo showing more of the band but thought the latch would be better. Thank you all for your posts :-)
Wait, those are '64 prices? So gold it was 29.95 but in white it was 71.95? I must not be reading that right..

Yep - you guys post fast - I didn't see most of those until after I posted. I feel silly. I picked the little watch up for $575 after some haggling, $628 to my door (be here tomorrow). The seller calls it "mint" condition and from the photos it seem in rather nice condition.
