Bulova Debutes 1925 & 1926 models in 1919 or "get the wayback machine, Sherman"

Submitted by William Smith on

You gotta love Bulova's timeline at http://www.bulova.com/en_us/legacy

It's confusing, but better than nothing I suppose.  As we know, they have placed little effort into this, and often misrepresent, albeit it may not have been their intention. It's like they really didn't care that much...

EXTREMELY RARE!

Submitted by plainsmen on

Wow... talk about the most over used statement of the millenium.  I can't tell you how many EXTREMELY RARE common bulova's I've seen for sale recently.

Oh.. look... there's another EXTREMELY RARE 40's senator... holy moly I better jump on it as you never see that model...

I want to slap the EXTREMELY RARE face of those sellers... haha!

Restoration Project #3

Submitted by NOVA on

I am excited to finally begin the process of restoring my collection. Many of my watches need a lot of work, and I am in need of advice regarding what to do with them. Moreover, I think this information could be helpful to other members and guests who are contemplating purchasing, selling, or restoring a similar model. I know that there will be differing opinions, but all opinions are welcome. So, if you’re willing, please share your thoughts.

Submitted by simpletreasures on

Got this in yesterday and is dated October 16, 1926. Shows a "New Model" for the ladies called "Pandora" it's the top one.

I'll get this to stephan in a email attachment and maybe he can get in the database in a larger format so it can be read clearly :-(

God I hate my scanner!!!!!

So, now we have a new one to debate!
