Watch Description

Picked this guy up for $60.00 as a non runner. Opened the case and just touched the main spring and away he goes. Got a COA and a new band from the watchmaker which I just noticed he scratched. Oh well gives it a little more character right? :)     Photos of mvt. & casebak from Ebay seller prettyimpracticals

gets 3 from me Bob, Nice! One of my favorites. 10BM is one of the mast solid movements Bulova made in my opinion. I never have many problems with this model.

any chance of getting the specs or a link to the band you purchased? this watch is tiny. at least mine it. same watch, but with black face, see my other comments.

So the ID seems to be based on the mount. Watch is presented with both, but can take ther first expansion band photo as the primary one.

Previous discussions revolved aroud the mount, usually strap versus bracelet. Acknowledging that mounts do get changed over the lifetime of a watch, we have agreed to ID a watch based on the mount type that the watch is presented to us with.
