Recently I found some references online to several cloisonne dialed Bulova watches dating from the mid 1950s. They are being attributed to Maguerite Koch and I am not 100% certain if this were mods or Bulova factory models. Starting this thread for additional watch discoveries and info sharing.
I just picked up a green Spinnaker and it made me think about ads. Outside of the dial marks I do not recall every seeing an ad or linebook for the Spinnaker. Based on my research there are 4 dial designs as follows:
White dial with Green stripe
White dial with Orange stripe
White dial with Blue stripe
White dial with Red stripe
Black dial with orange stripe
It appears to have come in at least two cases. Round and Tonneau. I would like to find an ad for these to understand them better.
Hello everybody! i'm new on this forum and i hope that you can help me.
Unfortunatelly my 1968 Oceanographer (with Cal. 11 BLACD) has lost its original crown, now i need a new one and i found this (check the link and pictures below) on ebay. Someone of you can tell me if is correct? i've already talk with the seller and he told me that he is not sure. It is a #74Y Yellow 11ALACD 5.7mm crown.
thanks in advance!

James Franco is seen wearing the Sea King 'K' at around 43:35 in the 2nd episode of 11.22.63. The date in the episode was October of 1960. The examples in the DB are all 1961, but he may have had it before traveling back in time to 1960.
Found this very interesting Bulova collab with Columbia Records from 1972 called the The Un-Ripoff. It is a compilation record album with the likes of Janice Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Santana.

1939 Ad showing Bulova had a tie in with the movie "The Golden Boy".
Who knew.....The Corrigan watch was officially tied to the movie "Thy Flying Dutchman" starring Douglas Corrigan. Found in 1939 ad. It would be great to find advertising associated with this tie in.
Super interesting article about special engraved Bulova watches being presented to 7 American Airlines pilots who reached 1 Million miles of flight. How cool would it be to find one of these.
