    Hi

    just won this 1982 Bulova watch for a very low bid price considering its apparent condition.
    I expect it drew little attention from Bulova lovers because its a presentation watch of some sort with a huge logo on the dial.

    The dial looks nearly new condition but I really would like to replace it at some later date.
    I already found one not expensive s-l1600 (41).jpg s-l1600 (43).jpg s-l1600 (42).jpg NOS "Whale" dial with day and date window that might be what I want but I'm not sure exactly what model I have other than its from the early 80's and looks to be a self winder.
    The Whale dial looks in perfect shape but I'm not crazy about its copper tone and rather generic numerals.
    I'd rather scare up a satin finish dial with straw markers or a mix of straw and numerals, something fairly nice.
    The seller gave very little in the way of description only saying its in running condition. At the very low price I got it for I can probably afford to have it professionally serviced and still come out ahead, especially if I can find a proper replacement dial and have it switched out at the same time.

    While you wait for an answer here, you might consider posting this on the Bulova enthusiasts forum. I seriously doubt that model actually had a name.
