This one is a fixer-upper I've realized just doesn't suit my little collection or needs currently. I bought it suspecting it needed a service, and it definitely does - will very occasionally run a few seconds when wound, but that's it - please understand this IS A PROJECT WATCH.

Even not running, this has been a fun piece to have around - I'd simply like to get this little guy in the hands of someone who can either learn from it, properly appreciate it, or hopefully both! 😀

Asking $65 shipped CONUS

Specs (what I've been able to determine):
Aprox. 37x26mm, not incl. crown.
White gold filled case.
Serial dates to 1958.
Bulova cal. 10BP manual wind.
16mm lugs, ships on the 'Lizard Grain' black strap shown.
Crosshair dial looks original, however I suspect the seconds may have been replaced at some point - not certain, just a slightly different coloration to the hand itself than that of the minutes and hours.


Thanks for taking a look!

This is a pretty watch. The beauty of Bulova was their standardization of parts and movements. Parts are abundant on the web as are full running movements or watches that would make great donors. It’s all about the cosmetics on old Bulova’s- and this one is lovely.

First off, thanks to all who looked, especially @DaveK and @JwRosenthal for the kind words!

Second, very happy to say this one will shortly be on its way to a new happy home here among the OF family! Will post feedback for the buyer (stellar transaction thus far though!) in the feedback forum once item has been shipped and received 😀

Thanks again guys!
