Thank you Jaroslav. Some are pristine when I find them, but most require a good deal of work to restore.
Another beauty!! Love the clean crisp dial. I am also at Unknown.

Thank you Kathy!
Beauty, Ken. Another minty look unknown. Don't believe I have ever seen a movement that was triple stamped. Do you think the watch was released in 1964 in a 1962 casing, or is it possibly a movement swap/Bulova Service Center "factory rebuild"? Curious.

My thoughts moved towards those scenarios too; but since we don't see a lot of these 21 jewel movements, perhaps this one was held in stock for a future repair and replace. It is very odd having all these datestamps, and I wonder if we will ever know what happened.
Sharp looking watch Ken, nice work. I'm also curious about the triple date stamp, can you drop a close up of that please?

Here you go. Two stamped side-by-side, the other stamped in another area of the same bridge.

Wow, that could be one for the record book
I have seen two stamps before- I have no idea how it comes about. Only one date is filled in with gold, while the second stamp is fainter. Can't say I've seen three on the same watch before, though.
