Cleaned off all the jungle grunge and rounded up a mesh band so it's now wearable. I think all that's left to do is polish the little white dings and scratches from the acrylic at the 12:00-2:00 position and she will be fairly presentable.
Pretty lugs- that did clean up nicely. This is the kind of Bulova I remember the older men in my family wearing around the dinner table with stretchy bracelets and shirt sleeve dress shirts….ahhh the 70’s.
Yes when dinner was an occasion not just sitting on a sofa blobbed out eating pizza!

Yep same when I grew up. Dinner was at a set time and routine. Luckily my wife also grew up the same so our kid experiences real family interaction rather than merely sharing living space.
And as a kid at those dinners, I never would have thought about watching tv or sitting on a device as I didn’t want to miss the stories and jokes at the table- I would go to bed with my eyes and stomach hurting from all the laughter

Amen and Truth!
Dinner, really all meals, unless there was a sleepover or something uncommon, were taken together during my youth.
And when I married it was a point of contention to overcome as my wife was raised in a bleu collar family with auto worker parents (so meals were catch as catch can and almost exclusively TV or bedroom affairs) but eventually I won that small war (one of my few victories) and we eat together and talk.
Our daughter, a rather angry and bitter 23 year old these days but I assume that's just a face she's wearing to express her contrariness, more or less shocked me when she handed me a college exam paper about three weeks ago... creative writing class and she had to write about traditions.
My mouth nearly smacked the floor when I read nearly four paragraphs on how our family takes meals together *AND* she feels lucky to do so based on empirical data showing the sharp decline in such things.
I hugged her after reading it, and of course she had to ruin it by mumbling aloud, "I lied while writing all that."
Asshole.

Love an estate sale find. 1163 Viceroy, about as close to NOS as you can find, with box and papers.

Great catch and I’m more than a little bit jealous but do yourself a favour and wait until your vehicle is parked to take a wrist shot.
