Watch Description

This is a 1968 ladies Bulova. I didn't see another one on the site like this one. I think it's a First Lady model. It has a 17 jewel movement with a M8 date code. The movement is stampe 5 (something) D. I can't make out the center letter. I looked in the movement data base at all the movement models starting with a 5 and ending in D and couldn't find one for the year 1968. I haven't cleaned it any and the crystal glue has turned yellowish on it. It looks like it may still have the original band. It's 10k rgp white gold.

A 1968 Bulova First Lady "H" to be exact. Hard to say what the movement model is. A 5BD is what I think it is..

Thanks guys! You're most likely right on the movement Stephen. But the movement model is stamped bad or something and can't be read with 100% accuracy.
