FOR SALE IS A HANDSOME AND DRESSY MEN'S 1971 BULOVA SEA/SURF-KING WITH THAT FRIENDLY LITTLE WHALE.
CASE: EXCELLENT CONDITION ALL-STEEL SURF-KING CASE MEASURING A 32mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 39.5mm LUG TO LUG. THERE ARE SOME MINOR HINTS OF WEAR BUT IN OVERALL VERY CLEAN SHAPE. I LOVE THE WAY THIS CASE WEARS ON THE WRIST WITH THE THIN BEZEL/WIDE DIAL AND LONG LUG TO LUG WHICH MAKE IT FEEL MORE LIKE A 34-35mm WATCH.
DIAL: MINIMALISM AND SIMPLICITY DEFINED. I LOVE THAT RICH MATTE SILVER DIAL WITH THOSE GORGEOUS APPLIED THIN MARKERS AND THOSE LARGE AND SEXY ARABIC STEEL MARKERS AT 12/3/6/9. THE TRITIUM LUME PLOTS ON THIS ONE ARE IN PERFECT PRESERVED CONDITION AND MATCH THE LUME ON THOSE SIMPLE STEEL STICK HANDS. WHAT MAKES THIS DIAL STAND-OUT IS THAT TRADEMARK SEA-KING WHALE ABOVE THE 6 MARKER WHICH IS A BULOVA CLASSIC DESIGN.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 17 JEWEL SWISS MADE IN-HOUSE BULOVA 11BLL MANUAL WINDER WHICH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND RUNNING FLAWLESSLY. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS BULOVA HAS BEEN BEHAVING LIKE A CHAMP OVER A WEEK OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
WATCH COMES MOUNTED ON LUXURIOUS MADE IN THE USA CALF-SKIN STRAP WHICH LOOKS CLASSY ON THIS GUY. IF YOU ARE A TRUE BULOVA NUT, THEN THIS IS ONE YOU WILL NEED. IT COMBINES THE CASE OF THE SURF-KING WITH THE DIAL OF A SEA-KING WHICH MAKES FOR THAT PERFECT BLEND OF DRESSY AND ADVENTUROUS.
