Besides the Seiko Sickness, I'm into vintage Bulovas from the 30's & 40's. Easy to fix, cheap to buy, very rewarding to see them brought back to former glory. You can turn some coin but that's no motivation for me.
Nice thing is the cases are Gold Plate so they polish up insane, and the applied markers and hands are solid 14K gold too.
Parts are plentiful but hard to research what's needed at times.
Any other Vintage Bulova Lurkers amongst this new board?

I have a few Bulovas, and sub-brands under Bulova, but I'd love LOVE one of the 60s / 70s chronos with the Lemania movements

Sadly enough as much as I love Bulovas I only have this one......... A LOT of bang tho for the little money I paid for it!  I know the 6:00 indice looks funny but the indices are raised and shiny and that's just the light being captured on it from my pic. |
