I'm absolutely sure this watch is a 1966 Goldcraft BB. If I'm wrong, I'll buy each member of the MyBulova Panel a beverage of their choice upon meeting them. This is a 14K gold watch with a 17 jewel movement manufactured in 1966. It has a round dial with no numbers only "tick" marks that are all squarely oriented and it has a lizard band.
It looks darn near brand new and keeps perfect time.
My apologies for the picture of the movement. This watch has a solid case, and the movement has to be removed through the crystal. Since that well exceeds my limited watch tuning skills, I took this watch took the local watch maker to get cleaned and oiled. I told him I really wanted a picture of the movement. Since I'm (hopefully temporarily) completely retired and live very close to his shop, I asked him to give me a call when the movement was out so I could take a photo. Instead of doing that he took the picture himself. He must have an older phone, because I cannot read the movement date code. But I have no reason to believe it is anything other than 1966.
I enlarged and sharpened the movement photo, and it is indeed coded M6 for 1966. A beautiful watch and a first for the database. Ad is from the 1966 Linebook.

I have a theory/question that only the line book can answer. Wasn’t there a 14K Commander G, and a 14K “23” in 1966? If so, what is the price listed in the line book for either or both of those watches? My theory is that they were also priced at $100.
1966 Bulova Goldcraft "BB" is a good match.
Nice linebook match.
