Watch Description

I thought I was done finding NOS (New Old Stock) Bulova but I recently stumbled on a couple nice ones from the seventies. Here's a Model 11018-9W 23 Jewel Auto Wind in all stainless steel resting comfortably in the original presentation case. Bracelet is original and matches the advert.  Hard to photograph the 9 section beveled crystal but a cool linen dial lies just below it. Nothing fancy, just a nice clean Bulova.

I knew it....you did fix your time machine!!

In 1976 a good number of Date and Day Automatics are listed as being part of the Bulova Brigadier collection. (1975-1976_LineBook_BAWD0202 - Pg58)

Model 11018-9W is certainly a match, but do we include the Date and Day attribute in the model name or variant?

Well, it's at YOUR HOUSE now, so Buccaneer it will be known henceforth. Send the group a photo of the new "Bulova Tower"?
