    Hi gang!

    Here's an instant Vintage Bulova collection, well some are Caravelles made by Bulova but awesome just the same.

    First up is this super snazzy lookin 1966 Accutron 214 I picked up at an estate jewelry shop in a package deal. The thing is happily humming away and keeping great time and ready to enjoy! Not much for signs of use and looks much better in person than my lousy pictures. Any lines in the watch are reflections of faint scratches on the acrylic crystal which will easily polish out and the dial is original and gorgeous! The lume is nice and clean and still glows a bit.

    Next is this oldster Bulova manual winder from the '50's that runs great and is all original including the crystal with what looks like black spots on the crystal. The crystal is actually able to be lifted off the watch so not only does it need a polishing but should be cemented back in place.

    Here's a 1963 Caravelle manual winder with a gorgeous mint mint original dial and also runs like a top. All original including the signed crown and this watch came with the Accutron package deal. Looks to be around 34-35mm and ready to wear and enjoy!

    Another Caravelle from the package deal. This one hails from 1970 and appears to be in pristine condition with only minor signs of use and the dial is perfect and stunning! This is an automatic and keeping good time although I think the rotor is a bit noisy so may need a lube if planning on using it daily. Size-wise it looks the same as the previous Caravelle, approx. 34-35mm. The crown is original and signed as well.

    The last Caravelle is the West German version manual wind 17 jewel digital chunk of snazz from 1974. We never cleaned or polished any of these watches and they are as-found from our treasure hunting so please excuse any dirt on the back sides and crevices. The pictures don't do this watch justice as it is a stunner in pristine condition and the brushed blue dial is perfect. The blue alternates from dark to light depending on the position and the watch runs great and keeps great time. This is the higher end version with the West German 17 jewel movement and signed as such on the bottom of the dial. All original including the signed crown. Be the toast of the town with this baby on your wrist!

    We will also throw in 2 mystery watches in this package just in case anyone wants to tinker and play watch guy. Once the buyer pays for this package deal we will offer them their choice of the two free extra watches from a bunch we have.

    Free delivery in the US of A and international shipping please add $15. Payment-wise we can do check or bank wire or in person if you happen to be in the Ct shoreline area.

    Thanks for looking and PM if you want these beauties!

    @janice&fred will want to edit their thread title with a preface of SOLD, but I suspect that this thread will continue along on other fun tangents for a while
