this is my father's 1952 bulova. 'director', i think. it runs perfectly and i wear it almost daily. i have it serviced yearly, but it is all original (save the band), never restored. i'm interested in having it restored... the crystal is about what you might expect from a 60 year old watch. i don't think he wore it much past my early childhood... i don't remember it and haven't seen it in photos beyond about '65... i'd also like to find the original band, or a replica. i understand from my mother that my dad bought it for himself as a gift from her at the px at the key west naval station....
Director - 100% - Family Treasure - 100%, It doesn't get much better than that!
Director for sure and it is the one Mark calls the ugly one. I have one myself and I think it is just a beauty. The add bonus of knowing the history is something we only dream of with most of our watches.
In reply to Director for sure and it is by JP

Seems to be a common band.
This is technically a "Director-A." The "Director" model was a completely different bezel from the Director-A. model.
