all stainless body, round face with date aperture at 3pm, silver dial and numerals and hands, in correct box i believe, 23 jewell, auction find
This one is pretty cool. Clamshell marked "international" with watch bearing dancing lady and s/n starting with ( 1 - ). These are both indications that the watch was produced in Europe. We only have access to one Bulova Linebook (#164) listing Swiss produced watches. It's dated 1966-1967. I got lucky :o)

1965 Bulova International "Model 18 01 01"
I believe that it is indeed in the original box!
It looks like there may be a few differences in the posted watch and the linebook watch but it's hard to tell if those differences are real or just a result of the lighting and the linebook photo being a little blurry.
1) The "12", "6", and "9" hour markers in the posted watch are the same double thick lines while in the linebook only the "12" has the doubled line hour marker.
2) In the posted watch all of the markers are of the same length. In the linebook the "12", "6", and "9" hour markers are longer than the other hour markers. However, this may not be real and may be due to the lighting.
3) In the linebook photo the date window cuts off the "3" hour marker while in the posted watch the "3" hour marker is not present at all.
Not the biggest differences and the lighting and photo quality may be the issue, but the differences in the "6" and "9" hour markers and the missing "3" hour marker may be real differences.
