I agree.  Thanks.

In retrospect, I saw interest in Bulova spike in 2000 w/ Bruce Shawkey's NAWCC Bulletin article (Dec 2000,  pg 809-811).  This article was actually adapted for the Bulletin from an original story Bruce did in "Vintage Wrist Watch Report".  I think this was a quarterly or monthly publication for one of the NAWCC chapters at time- Maybe Chapter 181 or 185.

Then in 2007 Bruce published another Bulletin article "Bulova Wristwatches Revisited" (Aug 2007, pg 455-457) where he mentions MyBulova.com, and discusses various early Bulova attributes, including “Favre W. Co. Bulova W. Co.” movement signatures, early case signatures, and some info Cary Hurt discussed w/ Bruce and Chapter 185.   This brought MyBulova.com to the national, if not world spotlight.  We started getting more members and interest shortly after this article.



Then things really picked up here after Lisa published her article in 2013 Bulletin, discussing both her website and MyBulova.com.  I don't have month/pages for this Bulletin article off top of my head, but its a great read, and sent our membership numbers soaring.

We try to be accurate, back up discussion with ads, documents, etc..., learn more about the history of Bulova, and have fun all at the same time.
