A old watchmaker I know...who used to be a watchmaking instructor for Bulova back in the day...told me a long time ago that he had this watch since new. He said he might sell it someday. I had pretty much forgotten about it...how many times does somebody tell me this?...Forgotten until the other day when I was having a glass of wine in a cafe in Paris and my cell phone rang with this gentleman's number. He told me he was ready to sell. Today I picked up the watch. You all know how much I hate the term NOS...but...
I won't wear it much but it does feel good on the wrist...even at its huge 44mm size. The Valjoux 7736 keeps great time and all of the functions work perfectly. I guess the label on the side of the outer box can vouch for the originality of the set. $150.00 original price. He told me Bulova only made/sold the watch for 1 year 1970-71.
