I realize the focus is on vintage watches, but is there interest in the Frank Sinatra collection?
I feel that Bulova hit it out of the park with these vintage-inspired timepieces and I can't get enough of them. Thus far, I've purchased the Rat Pack 96B406, which is limited to 5K pieces, Fly Me To The Moon 97B196, Summer Wind 96B381 and I'm trying to restrain myself from adding the Chairman of the Board 97B224, which is limited to 500 pieces.
I suspect that someday, these watches will share a special place among the classics discussed on the site. I hope to hear from other members who share my enthusiasm.

The relationship with Bulova and The Chairman of the Board goes back to his TV Show and sponsorship thereof. Not sure if Frank actually owned or wore a Bulova. The Citizen owned Bulova watch company today is designing retro style watches, some with auto movements, manual winders and quartz. In this watchmaker's opinion these watches will never match the quality of Bulova 5th Ave USA and Switzerland factory, but the Sinatra collection is very nice. As far as collecting is concerned, limited models will always fetch more in auction but only time will tell if these modern watches become more valuable over time. John V. - Time & Again
