Watch Description

I couldn't find this watch in the database or in the ads. It's just a plain, black-dialed ladies' winder. I'm pretty sure that the bracelet is the original.

Thanks again,  TQ

Price
$32

Ladies' 1972 Bulova with a 5BC manual wind movement. It appears to be original. It winds and runs, but it would probably benefit from a basic tune-up. The selling price includes standard shipping.

Thank you for posting you watch.  Very modern design for 1972.   Based on the 1973 Linebook the case belongs to the Goddess of Time group.   I could not find a linebook listing for the round version with black dial but surely this is a 1972 Bulova Goddess of Time.Goddess of Time

I agree with Goddess of Time; I don't know if this dial can be the smoky satin, possibly.

I am not sure what Dark Smokey Satin finish is but it does seem to make sense.  1972 Bulova Goddess of Time "BU" is now my ID.

I took a photo of the dial on a gloss black background, and it looks satiny. And dark. It must be smokey, too. I'd post the photo if I could figure out how to do that.

Thanks,  TQ
