Need to admit there are some very nice and timeless watches made by Bulova which are still very much underrated.
Here is my Bulova 386-1

Have you been the only one showing vatiant G with the day/date case 7095-1? Well hey, here's mine! Doesn't have the movement, dial, or hands but I guess you can't have everything.

Does anyone happen to have this book, and if so, what do you think of it?



I'd like to expand my watch book collection and this looks fun, but it's out of print and going for $150-$250+.

Here's one I just got back from a service. It was originally an anniversary gift from my great grandad to my great grandma. My grandma gave it to me years ago before she died. My daughter turns fifteen in August and this will be her gift this year.

I have many Bulova Accutrons, but only 2 Bulova mechanicals. The only one I show is my 1943 Bulova Blackhawk. This is one of a series of this model that ran for about 5 years, around the end of WWII . There were minor differences model to model, and I have read the series was aimed at returning military.

What a wonderful gift to your daughter. Lucky girl!

Single crown EPSA with bezel is not one I see very often. I have the more common double crown Super Compressor



But same year (1962)- didn鈥檛 know they offered both at the same time.
