I believe this is a 1965 American Eagle. It has a rectangular gold electroplated case with a great texture pattern on it. The case is about 30mm x 31.5mm not including lugs and crown. Stainless steel back that a previous owner has done what looks like a do-it-yourself engraving job on. Beautiful white linen texture dial with cool font numbers at 9-12-3 positions and sunken second hand at 6. Runs and keeps good time. The American Eagle's are some of my favorite 60's Bulova's and I have a couple of different ones.
In addition to ID confirmation of the watch, would anyone know if this could be an original band or not? Might there be any linebook photos showing this one with an original band? The texture on this band looks identical to the watch, which I hope shows up clear in the photo's. It is branded Kestenmade and I don't know what brands Bulova might have used during this time(or if they made their own). I have seen several of these over the years and actually have cleaner one in my collection, but had not seen what appears to be a matching band before.
Thanks as always!
