The gold filled mesh bracelet on my "new" 1960 Bulova had some darkish stains that really took away from the look.  My local watchmaker gave it a sonic bath in some special cleaner and now it looks good as new.  These are both "after" photos.

That is really a classy looking watch.  They just bring you right back to the 60's...Jetsons anyone?

Great looking piece Tom. I've always loved that design. What watchmaker are you using? I've been using Blumenthal Jewelers in La Mesa, CA for at least 15 years for my vintage pieces. We're going to have to meet for lunch some day so that we can show each other some of our vintage collections.

Hey Charlie, I'm in the North County and am now using Richard at Collins Family Jewelers in Mira Mesa (a la Jake Peavy's TV ads).  He's Swiss-trained and has 30+ years of experience.  After we talked vintage watches for a while, I think he was trying to get me to join the NAWCC.  Richard is really a first class guy.
