Watch Description

I don't know any history. It is 14k white gold case. 17 jewels movement. I found a similar watch for sale with a different band, so I'm not sure if that is original.

Thank you for posting your watch.  Quite a beauty.  Based on the 1966 Linebook BAWD#0162-2 this is a 1966 Bulova Diadem "JJ".  The retail price of $350 is the equivalent of $3500 in today's dollars.

The band is a stainless steel Speidel. Was this an option with the original watch?

It is a beauty!  You can find the black cord bands pretty easily if you want to take it back to the original band.  Nice ID Jim.
