    Unfortunately it’s missing the second hand- otherwise would be a steal

    Here's the Bulova from many pages back. I finally remembered to snap a pic. This little guy is solid.

    Yay- you got that one!! Love that dial! Although these are “small” I find my Bulova’s like this supremely comfortable on leather under the cuff of a long sleeve shirt in the colder months. You don’t even feel them

    Perfect timing speaking of Bulova. Two of mine that I got in around September from this thread. Just got them back today from getting new crystals and serviced.

    This one was recommended here and it came in yesterday. Case is sharp, movement is clean and keeping good time. A little tightening of the BOR was all it needed. Not bad for $50 :) 7DD3E159-BD9A-4359-812A-826C0F8118FB.jpeg

    Love the Black one - if I want to own one just like it - is their a model name or ref. number I can search?
    Thanks

    I tried researching back in the fall and had these saved on my phone.

    Just search Bulova 23 or 23j and you’ll get hits.

    Good catch. Could you tell us how you tightened the bracelet? Thanks-----

    I would give 5 likes to those recent Bulovas if I could!

    @wsfarrell As to the bracelet: no big reveals as the bracelet wasn’t in terrible shape to begin with. Brought it to my watchmaker and she tightened the end links and snugged them up to the case, then re-aligned and tightened the clasp. She did this with pliers in what seemed to be twenty seconds. I can’t see any marks from her work and everything snaps well into place. She replaced two of the link bars as well.

    You're killing me guys!

    I get an alert to say new post in this thread. Pulse rate increases and adrenaline begins to flow. Smile on my face I optimistically click, hoping today will be my day, a grail? a fantastic find? a little gem at a steal of price? But NO

    Its another chat post, polite enquiry or congratulatory post following someone else's success.
    Now I like a chat, I like to congratulate and assist with queries but 11 posts in a row? I'm feeling feverish, anticipation is becoming unbearable getting the shakes. I don't like cold turkey!

    I NEED MY FIX! :)

    Could be a fun one. I'd like to see case back and movement pictures first however. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333905492933Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Certina Waterking tank style watch in gold plate with stunning black dial. 27mm is a nice size for these watches, even comes on a Rios strap which is nice.

    Gen II Zodiac Seawolf!! I have too many, I almost bought this one too.
    Dial is fantastic- bright yellow lume and clean black dial- no date which is extra cool and far more desirable. Hands have typical ashiness but not bad (can be relumed). Case is nice and bezel shows minimal brassing for these. A year ago I would have said this was on the high side- but now....this almost seems like a deal.
