FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A FUNKY 1970 BULOVA "STARS AND STRIPES" VALJOUX 7736 CHRONOGRAPH IN EXCELLENT NEAR MINT CONDITION.
-
CASE: GARGANTUAN ONE-PIECE SOLID STEEL ROUND CASE MEASURING A PORTLY 43.5mm ACROSS SERRATED BEZEL NOT INCLUDING OVERSIZED SIGNED CROWN. THIS THING IS A TOTAL BEAST. HOWEVER, I WILL NOTE THAT, DESPITE THE SIZE, THIS IS A VERY WEARABLE WATCH DUE TO THE HOODED LUG DESIGN.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL JUST REACHES OUT AND SHOUTS "FUCK YOU COMMIE BASTARDS". THAT RED, WHITE, AND BLUE MOTIF IS JUST LIKE A "MAGA" HAT FOR YOUR WRIST. BUT, LET'S LEAVE POLITICS ASIDE AND DOTE ON THIS BOMBASTIC FACE. I LOVE THAT MATTE DARK BLUE CENTRAL DIAL FLANKED BY THAT BRILLIANT WHITE MID RING WHICH GIVES A COOL BULLSEYE EFFECT. THEN, YOU GET YOUR OUTER RING WITH THE RACY TACHY SCALE. CHECK OUT THOSE FAT TRITIUM PLOTS WHICH MATCH NICELY WITH THE CREAMY LUME ON THOSE RED-TIPPED BOTTLE ROCKET HANDS. I JUST TOTALLY DIG THOSE MASSIVE SUBDIALS WHICH MAKE READING THE CHRONOGRAPH READOUT AN EXTREMELY LEGIBLE EXPERIENCE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GROOVY BULOVA IS POWERED BY A 17J VALJOUX 7736 TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME MONITORED FOR DAYS UPON DAYS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS ONE IS A TOTAL STRONG RUNNER WITH GOOD AMPLITUDE ON THE TIMEGRAPHER.
- THIS BADASS IS MOUNTED ON A MULTI-LINK PERIOD APPROPRIATE TAPERED STEEL BRACELET WHICH LOOKS PERFECT ON THIS WATCH. THIS IS THE EPITOME OF 70s OUTLANDISHNESS. THESE WERE MADE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME AND WERE DEFINITELY STANDOUT PIECES FOR THE BRAND. THIS WAS SUCH A MONUMENTAL DESIGN THAT BULOVA RELEASED A LIMITED EDITION QUARTZ REISSUE A FEW YEARS BACK. BUT, THERE AIN'T NOTHIN LIKE THE REAL THING. THIS THING IS AS AMERICAN(MINUS ALL THE SWISS MADE STUFF) AS A CADDY COUPE DEVILLE AND RON JEREMY. ANY SERIOUS CHRONO COLLECTOR OF ANY GOOD STANDING NEEDS THIS ONE IN THEIR COLLECTION
