It pains me to let this one go, but another piece in the works demands the funds! This is an absolutely gorgeous Bulova 666 "Devil Diver". While this is still considered a Snorkel, it lacks the Snorkel name on the dial making it more collectable based on what I've read. As seen by the pictures, this piece is in amazing shape. The lume of all original, very uniform and has turned to a creamy yellow. More importantly, it matches perfectly between dial and hands. Case size if 35-mm (across bezel) not including the crown x 43.3-mm lug tip to lug tip. The Caliber 11ALACD movement marked M7 (1967) has been serviced and is running well and keeping good time. Bezel is extremely clean with all numerals and dashes legible. Crystal has been replaced with a NOS one. Crown is original and signed. Its fitted with a vintage Beads of Rice band that compliments this piece perfectly.

Prefer to sell within the U.S., but will consider sale outside based on buyer and reputation. Asking $650 plus shipping. Shipping via USPS Priority Mail w/Tracking. Payment via PayPal. Please message me with interest. Thanks! Jeff

I couldn't believe my luck when I missed the first one and this second one came along so soon after... I couldn't take the chance of missing this one and snapped it up right quick!
The Bulova Forum Gods were with you, especially since I was going to post yesterday, but realized I couldn't as I had posted another! So, staying in good graces & compliance, up it went this am! 🙄

Some things are just meant to be... although I'm not sure my darling at home will be so easily convinced 😕

The first >$300 watch I bought around 1999 was a Bulova Marine Star (Quartz). It hasn't worked for many years, but my wife insisted I put it in my 6 position watch box (she hoped it meant I wouldn't feel the need to fill it with more watches...).

I guess quietly swapping out the old one with this 'older' one allows me to honestly say, "what, that old thing? if she ever notices... Of course, she's much smarter and more observant than I am clever, so I am only ever able to hide as much as she pretends not to see.
