Hello do hope everyone is perfect. Though to share with you few info about this very beautiful watch. I own 3. One with a Blue dial, one two tone gold and one all silver. The first 2 watches belonged to my parents, it was a present from my Grandad for their 10 year anniversary . I have the box and papers only for the Blue one.
Correctly the codes on the mechanism shows the year of manufacture. Unfortunately this is a discontinued watch, I guess has to do with sales back then. I guess in an era that Rolex was taking over the market, poor Super Seville couldn’t stand this competition. Both my parents watches are operating excellent with a service every 3-4 years( even though not needed) and they are super accurate . +/- 5 secs a day .
I restored earlier this year the all silver one. Initially I purchase it for parts, but getting in hands with it I loved it. I was able to locate parts very easily, specially for the mechanism ( ETA 2834 is a true work horse ) . The difference in jewels has to do with the evolution of the ETA which later models the P5..+ equipped with.
Even crowns are available with a tap size of 0,5mm . I placed a new o ring on the case cover, and the watch amazingly passed the water test, even though I don’t use it beyond the point of washing hands etc.
Searching arround few vintage watch dealers they all stated the same. This is a little rare to find due to limited production since it’s discontinued by Bulova, and Definetely will rise up in value at some point....
cheers .
