Notes: I wonder if there is a model name for this style, or if Bulova was just using numbers by this time. I spotted this on an online auction a few months ago, and wondered if the dial could possibly look as good as it did in the images. It does. This “fume’ weave” is a dial treatment that is currently featured on a reissue Nivada Grenchen, as well as a fairly pricey Delma Diver. I would have to say that Bulova was making some style points in the early 70s. I also spotted another one with the same dial, but in a different color way. Haven’t decided if I am going after that one too, maybe another mybulovaite will beat me to it (smile). I also found it interesting that the Taiwan case has a somewhat low serial number.
Love it! This is only the third of these I have seen, I own one of THE OTHERS.
It appears this one was only assigned a model number, rather than a name.

Hi NS4U,
Early bird! I looked at yours and am experiencing humorous envy! Box, original bracelet, line book designation, and an insanely low serial number. Also "T Swiss T". My reaction was the same as yours, had to have it.
