If there were a category or some kind of designation for a "text book" example of a model, this record would be in that category IMO. Original everything except the band. The providence w hang tag, guarantee, receipt, inner and outer paper box, concurring crystal specs, etc.... Just perfect! If I were to pick one record to recommend to someone wanting to know about the HE QQ this would be the one! ( i may refer them to Ellierose HE QQ w/ original band to see what the band looked like too)
Good work Geoff! If I were you, I'd sure be trying to strike a deal with Ellierose for that original band. Then this watch would have everything as original. I would almost argue the band deserves to be on this watch if for no other reason than Bulova history. If I find one of those bands, I'll gladly give it to you. This watch deserves it.
