ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.

I can appreciate Bulova and their history... But that watch is painful to look at. The kind of ugly the mother would turn her back on. |

Back from service. I can't get the microphone to pick up the sound of the tuning fork. The second hand sweep is super smooth. Attached File |

Got a Hirsch strap for it. Attached File The movement dates to 1972 and the case to 1976. Watchmaker who serviced it has a bunch of old catalogues and this isn't in them. He thinks the movement probably came out of a solid 14k case that was melted down and got recased into this one. The finish looks like a severely patinaed dial in low light. |

It came with the original bracelet which at its maximum adjustment is just a tad too small for my wrist.
