Before, seller's pic. On an afterthought, ill-fitting Bulova bracelet.


A picture of the original add, note the strap. I have a 16mm buckle, so may seek out a rally strap down the road.


A few specs:
218 tuning fork movement
37mm East to West
Quick change date, which is apparently a rare feature for this movement/era.

I had the movement serviced, the dial cleaned, crystal polished. Put it on mesh. Spent 20 minutes shooting it, and this is the best one that tells it all.


Thanks for looking.

Great watch! Looks super on the mesh. Makes me miss this one that went down the road last year, I think it was a '70:
