FOR SALE IS A ONE OF THE MINTIEST BULOVA SEAKINGS I'VE EVER HANDLED WITH THE ORIGINAL MOD STYLE BOX AND SIGNED MILANESE BRACELET.
CASE: MINTY ALL-STEEL TONNEAU STYLE CASE MEASURING 33mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 40mm LUG TO LUG. NOT A SINGLE MARK TO BE SEEN ON THIS CASE. CHECK OUT THAT ORIGINAL FACTORY BRUSHING ON THE TOP OF THE BEZEL, THOSE FLAWLESS MIRRORED SIDES AND THOSE RAZOR SHARP EDGES. 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 METALLIC DIAL WITH THOSE GORGEOUS APPLIED STEEL/BLACK MARKERS. THE TRITIUM LUME PLOTS ON THIS ONE ARE IN PERFECT PRESERVED CONDITION AND MATCH THE LUME ON THOSE PERFECT SANDWICH STYLE SIMPLE STEEL STICK HANDS. SUPER SLICK CROSSHAIRS REALLY MAKE THIS ONE A STUNNER. BUT, WHAT MAKES THIS DIAL STAND-OUT IS THAT TRADEMARK SEA-KING WHALE ABOVE THE "AUTOMATIC" TEXT WHICH IS A BULOVA CLASSIC DESIGN. I JUST LOVE THAT BRILLIANT POP OF COLOR WITH THAT CHERRY RED SWEEP HAND. FOR SUCH A MINIMALIST DIAL, THERE REALLY IS A LOT TO LOOK AT.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A BULOVA IN-HOUSE 17 JEWEL SWISS MADE 11ANAC AUTOMATIC 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 WITH THE ORIGINAL MINTY ALL-STEEL BRUSHED MILANESE BRACELET WITH SIGNED BULOVA CLASP WHICH CAN FIT UP TO A 7.5" WRIST. IF YOU ARE A BULOVA FANATIC...OR A VINTAGE WATCH COLLECTOR OF GOOD STANDING, YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO JUMP ON THIS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE PIECE. THIS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LATE 60s MODERN ART....FROM THE WATCH ITSELF TO THAT TOTALLY MOD BULOVA BOX. THE BOX ITSELF BELONGS IN A MUSEUM EXHIBIT. THE BOX IS DESIGNED THAT WHEN YOU OPEN THE LID, THE INSERT INSIDE STARTS TO TILT FORWAD TO PRESENT THE WATCH INSIDE....SO GROOVY. THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE CLEANEST WATCHES I'VE SEEN PASS THROUGH MY HANDS RECENTLY...AND JUST THE ULTIMATE PERFECT PACKAGE.
