Watch Description

This is a 1969 ladies Bulova in a 10k white rolled gold plate case. It's running good and keeps excellent time, or it did before I took it apart for these photos with my fumbling hands. I hope it still keeps time now. The case has 2 small diamonds, one on each end.

I assume the dial is pearl but hard to tell from the picture but I think you nailed it.  1969 Bulova Diamond Pearl "F" is a good match to the ad.

In 1969 my job paid $2.25 an hour. This watch would have cost a weeks take home pay after income taxes back then.
