10k yellow gold, leaf design with two flowers - each with a ruby color stone in the center. I bought this years ago because I loved it and I wear it as a pendant. The band was very damaged and was a black cord style band.
What a unique piece. Chances are this is a custom piece and not something produced by Bulova as a whole, but certainly the main body of the watch is from a Bulova watch.
We might be able to narrow down what model the watch started out at, but other than to say the watch looks to date from around 1965.
The interesting part (other than the amazing bezel) is that the back case is stamped 10K GOLD. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
Curious what others think of this amazing piece.
I think Non-Conforming is also the best. Sandi- this is a category we select when a watch has either been pieced together using parts from several other watches, or as in the case of your little beauty, it has been substantially modified. Know that the corded band can easily be replaced and it can be worn once again as a wrist watch. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much, everyone. I love this watch and have had it for a while. Knowing that it is a custom piece makes me like it even more. I really like wearing it as a pendant (I know not the norm, it looks great), but I think I’ll now look for a replacement band.
