So! You want glow in the dark! These don't get a lot of love, and they certainly weren't rare 40 years ago (or so). But not many of this model have survived, and especially in working condition. Bulova Computron LED with a bit of a different slant on reading the time. I suspect this feature was meant to try to compensate for the fact that these watches were difficult to read in glaring sunlight.

'66 Seamaster, the last year we won anything at football (soccer to the Guys across the pond). I'm English but don't always wear French cuffs, just felt like it tonight.

Washing cars and changing oil on bikes today..... so its "hundred dollar diver day".

I still wince when I hear that metallic clack against the side of an engine but then I remember "Oh yeah..... tool watch..... not my friggin OMEGA!"

Not quite yet! It has the box and papers, too.



Thanks. I do have a FOIS, nothing vintage yet.

I just picked up my Piping Rock from my watchmaker, so an afternoon switch:

NEED MORE "LIKE" BUTTON!!!

Nice watch but come on, I've had engines that idled at 1500 rpm. Why aren't we seeing that rev counter at 6000+? 😁

I'm no expert, but I think the Toyota Camry idles at about 7 RPM. 😉

Engines are supposed to be revved and yes, this was at tickover.

Seriously, if you ever get tired of that F430 and would like a Camry or a Subaru instead, feel free to contact me!

I would mate but the steering wheel would be on the wrong side for you.

I'm willing to adjust... The tradeoff is worth it. [emoji28]
