In reply to I accept without hesitation by NOVA
If that's a "lead- in" for a DEBATE... I frankly don't have the time or energy... to compare apples and oranges... Bulova OUTSOURCED the ads, and humans indeed make many errors and ommissions, thereon... (Which is commonplace, even on Madison Avenue. And always WAS...) Bulova had little control or influence over the final cut/printing of ANY ad copy... And likely ALSO outsourced the illustrating to people who were ad co ARTISTS, vs. Bulova watch designers, etc.
The "thrird party" crystal manufacturers were ALSO the people designing the crystals FOR companies such as Bulova, and not limited to Bulova... as were the watch case manufactures, etc... Bulova made the movements, and assembled them into third party cases, with glass designed to fit those cases... Then they simply ADDED more model names, diff. movements, varied case treatments, bands/straps, dial options, etc., like most everyone else... But a crystal catalog often has the first to last mention of the model... and in conjuction with alternating (varied year) ads, or at least glass+ on hand, tells a FAR MORE complete story, than perusing ads, which is only PART of the story...
