·BULOVA SUBMERSIBLE WRIST WATCH
prototype that was never commercially launched
prototype that was never commercially launched
- This is the same technology that the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec and Tornek-Rayville TR-900 used.
- The tech is redundant today but back in the 50s it was a serious piece of dive watch innovation that saved lives.
- If a watch with a moister level indictor ever lost its water resistance – the paper would change color thus alerting the diver that their vital timing instrument had failed.
- The reissue has a fully functioning moister level indictor
- LIMITED EDITION 200M BULOVA Archive Series MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 uses a Swiss movement and has SWISS MADE printed on the dial @ 41MM minus crown.
- NON LIMITED EDITION 200M uses a Japanese movement and does not have swiss made printed on the dial @ 41MM minus crown.

·I jumped on a buy-it-now Bulova 666 chrono a few weeks ago on US eBay and it just landed here in Germany. It was clear from the sellers pics it was going to be problematical, but I think it isn't as bad as it could have been and it was only €100 so it didn't break the bank.
Anyway, now it's here I wondered if it's worth the cost to get it fixed. I actually quite like the dial, but I think it's fair to say that it's damaged rather than tropical. There's been a leak by the crown / pushers as there's rust on the movement, but I have a 7733 donor so I reckon I could get it fixed and serviced for around €250-300, so €350-400 all in. Do you guys think it's worth the effort ? And is there any love here for this knackered dial, or should I try and go find a good condition or NOS one to replace it ?

·Before the spa visit..
..and after.
Next job to buy and butcher red and white silicone straps to fit the 5mm gap in the case. (Unless you have a better idea?)

·Adding to this thread since the advert was posted above- one of the new 1957 Milships in the metal on vintage military 2-piece strap.
This is a wonderful watch and really wears like a vintage diver.
