General Omar Bradley's 5 star accutron, 1969. Given to approximately 12 people as gifts when he was president of bulova. It is unconfirmed so far, but the watch may have been gifted to the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie. He was confirmed to have met Omar Bradley in 1963 during a state visit and is quoted saying he enjoying meeting him. He did another state visit in 1969 and also toured NASA launch facilities. Would love to find a smoking gun photograph or other evidence if anybody studies NASA photographs from the apollo 11 pre-launch events.

 

Beautiful, but also sad. Kind of like being EJ Smith (Captain of the Titanic) at 11:39pm 4/14/12

 

BULOVA 666

 

Love my Bulova Military 96B229!

 

1946 Bulova Dewey

 

As a newbie to vintage watches and having sworn that i would stick to Omega while finding my feet, I have just purchased this Bulova 666 'Devil Diver' - fell in love with the ghosted bezel! (watch is still making its way to me...)

 

My First Bulova

 

BULOVA Deep SEA Chronograph 666ft. variant " C "

 

I’m not normally a gold guy but with black dials like this, they really pop. Looks snazzy on the mesh too.

 

Thanks @hmmmcamu - opportunity arose to grab this at very reasonable price (I think!) and I just loved the look while knowing little of the watch's specs... research following purchase isn't normally the right order!...

 

BULOVA ACCUTRON ASTRONAUT ... Elvis the Pelvis and his ...

 

I used to have hair like that, I kept it on a hook next to my hat.

 

I used to have a body like that too...guess we are on the same path

For those interested, both the watch and the 500mm Zeiss camera Telelens he was wearing, were sold at auction!

Since at @hmmmcamu bought all the real ones, I had to settle for the reissue.

 

I posted a different picture in the WRUW thread today; this is an out take:

A nice home for my Forstner band. @hmmmcamu didn't get them all.

 

And this popped up on our equivalent to eBay; snared it for equivalent of USD650 which will hopefully turn out to be an ok deal but the watch is just great to look at regardless...
