A couple of weeks on MyBulova will do some very positive things to elevate your ability to identify, and subsequently acquire a Bulova. With some soft coaching from the esteemed "Panel" I have learned how to better use both the known models database, and the ad archive. I found this watch on the end of the second row of the 1960 ads, and it matches as close as any Bulova I have yet to own, including the stubby sweep second. And about the sweep hand, I captured these pix at 6am with an exposure of 5 seconds, so of course it is blurred. When it runs down I will re-shoot. It only extends to the inside track, and it is blued steel.
