I'm seeing the ""TT" and "UU" in the 1969 linebook and some other variants also in the 1967 linebooks, so the date is in the correct era.

I am wondering though if we can attribute to 1968 based on the '8' i the case serial number.

It's a very compact blingy watch that's for sure. Very nice.

Thank you, Stephen,

I  updated some additional information in Bold lettering but it has been changed by someone.

I dated the watch by the Movement stamped:  M 7  (1967)

Can you place this info in the original post for me.

Very nice example. I'd say the 1969 ad for the Diadem "VV" is okay. I'm not finding another model.

TexasLady, what year was the advert referenced above attributed to?

Stephen,

Is there some problem with:  the date of watch, the model name or the variant ?

The movement is dated 1967, the case serial number starts with an 8 (maybe suggesting 1968) and the mention of the advert being 1969.

As we don't have any 1968 Bulova linebooks and there being references in a number of 1967 and 1969 linebooks, I'm trying to establish the most likely year.

If the advert is dated 1969 then I'm good to follow that as well as seeing the 'TT' and 'UU' variants listed in an 1969 linebook.

Hi Stephen,

I have to disagree with the date of 1968 or 1969 , due to several watches being dated by the movement date instead of the case serial number and/or advert date.

Example 1: 1961 Bulova Diadem "G"- movement stamped M-1  with a case number 302422

                   Line Book 1963 BAWD0151 page 33

This watch was entered into the data base as a 1961 from the movement date, not  by the case number or 1963 Line Book date.

IMHO, my watch is a Bulova 1967 Diadem "V V"
