Watch Description

Hello everyone! Adding another Bulova to the database. I'm pretty sure it is a 1956 Dolly Madison. It seems to be a spot on ad match. Looking to see what you all think! Thanks! Also, how do most of you store/display your watch collection? As I keep buying more, I seem to be running out of room in my designated "watch drawer"... I feel like I keep telling myself to stay off of eBay, but that doesn't happen haha

Nice ad match.  I have several pocket watch boxes I got on Amazon that are a nice size for ladies watches.  They aren't fancy but do the job for storage.  In the 1955-1956 and 1956 linebooks as Dolly Adison "D"

The more you get the harder it is to display ;o) I am able to display about 70 in a vintage rotating lighted  jeweler countertop display, the rest are in glass top hinged  watch display/storage cases (available online in several different sizes) , as well as original Bulova boxes, stacked in two  cabinets.

The case shown holds 24 mens, or 48 small sized womens if you double them up on the inserts.

Awesome displays! Thank you for sharing! Yeah, it is crazy to think that I have only been collecting for four-ish months… I think I may have a problem ha ha

Welcome to the fold; you are among friends here who completely understand. It starts out as a carefree curiosity and quickly turns into an obsession.....repeat after me " My name is Crawford, I am a Bulovaholic......". More is better, don't be afraid, embrace it. :o)
