For you 'muricans (and, for that matter, anyone else 馃槈) looking to get into some vintage Swiss, here's a large steel-cased, manual-wind, ~35mm Tissot Antimagnetique, reference 6445, from the late 1940s. Baton hands and unsigned crown are correct; lume on the numerals is in good shape although the lume seems to be missing on the hands. Center second hand is missing. Dial looks clean. Vintage rivet-style aftermarket bracelet is a plus. BIN price is $155, seller is in the USA.

^^^ @Spruce ??? Right case shape for you.
Thanks @Emeister 馃榾
I hadn鈥檛 seen one of these before and don鈥檛 own a Bulova, although I know they鈥檙e popular here on OF.
Although I don鈥檛 normally go for day/date (Apart from a couple of Seikos) that linen dial looks really good particularly in grey so I shall probably put in a bid 馃

For what it's worth, I had a Seikomatic with a light brown linen dial, was it ever challenging for me to find a strap that would go well with it. It had a lot of patina on it too, not a pleasing type of look.

This one鈥檚 on offer on Chrono24 for a very reasonable 拢276 plus postage from a seller/dealer in Vietnam from whom I鈥檝e bought a similar watch previously.

The description confirms it has been serviced. The watch I bought had also been serviced and works perfectly including the quick date advance.

1975 Longines Admiral 5 Stars Automatic Ref. 3007-1

Edit:

This is the one I bought for 拢323
