When presented with the opportunity to acquire an almost identical Hand Winding AeroJet I said of course. The only difference on the dial is that this one reads “Waterproof”, and the ’66 has “Self Winding. Then I decided to put an acrylic exhibition back on the Automatic, since it is a shame not to be able to just admire the movement. This watch arrived in perfect working order, and is quite accurate, particularly for a 53 year-old watch that does not appear to have ever seen a watchmaker.
I love the above 4th photograph of this watch!!
1967 Bulova Aerojet (no variant)
This model Aerojet varied based on it band. Variants A, B, C, D respectively.
Are you referring to the cruddy hands? They could be nicer. will be looking for replacements. The watch is so clean otherwise, could that be a breakdown of the lume? Also, on the 5th photo, that gunk around the crystal and bezel is crystal polish. It has since been carefully removed. Any way to remove that shot and put an updated one in there?

I'll send an email. send me the new photo and I'll replace it
1967 Bulova Aerojet. I am thinking you can remove the lume and reapply it. I bought a lume kit off of ebay and it works great.

Hi JimDon - I found several kits on Ebay and saved them. I am thinking that the "white" kit is most correct? I guessing that the old lume soaks off.
Thanx - Jimmy
1967 Bulova Aero Jet, very nice
Is there a variant of the Dial where Is written: Automatic instead of Waterproof?

Hi Michele, That is correct, they look identical otherwise. I also have one that says "Selfwinding", and there is a 4th variation [that I know about] that reads "Automatic 23 Jewels". The "Waterproof" version is different in that it contains a manual wind movement, and I believe the back is slightly different due to it being slimmer. Hope that helps. jimmy
