Don't mind if you do!
Thanks for sharing your photos, Terrence S. Is that an anniversary Spaceview in SS?
Can you give us a little background on your watches?
As my watches have been sitting for some years, and although everything looks fine under the hood, even the rubber gasket, I would like to have it serviced. If there is someone you would recommend, please PM me.
Thanx!

A couple of newly acquired pieces
Walked into a mom and pop shop that is going out of business and happened upon these two Bulova Accutrons, both from the 1970's. Liked the vintage look of them so I just had to take them home. They are, supposedly, NOS. They may be NOS but the Coffin Case...
Thanks a lot for sharing your new acquisitions
Nice and very interesting post, my friend... These Bulova are amazing... I never thought about them, but they are repreentative of a certain era! Best! Nicolas
Hey Bob...nice catch!
I like it...the condition is pretty good...even the electronics, no oxidation. Is that a rubber gasket around the electronic-board (movement )? Corfam is cool... was also used for the Omega Dynamic..synthetic leather by Du Pont in 1963. Congrats! Kong
Hi Kong.
Yes, you are correct. That is a rubber gasket around the "movement". LOL Actually, the Tuning Fork vibrates 360 times per second, so technically, it could be called a movement! LOL Ciao! Bob
Oh man...after so long the rubber gasket is still intact...well stored!
Hi Bob... put it into an empty glass...and hear the mayhem Kong
Thanks for open up my eyes to another era.
I have to admit that I've never thought on the Bulova but your post enlighten me to this beauty. Much much more to learn. Thanks for your post. Cheers

Bob, nice watches. as you know i 'had' a large collection
totalling over 40 including the swiss esa equivalents from Baume and Mercier to Zenith/Movado. i'm a bit of a closet fanatic and have read as much about them as i can. i also have a superb repairer who trained at Bulova during the 1960's and only does tun...
Wowwie! What a collection!
Thanks for sharing not only your collection, but what you've learned as well. Both of my watches are US made, one in 72, the other in 74. When I first looked at the serial number n the coffin watch, I thought it started with a zero but after putting on my...
thanks Guys, but the credit goes to Bob for the initial post
i would never have considered sharing as they are a very niche market. your right Bob, the coffin on the diamond link bracelet looks good, but that bracelet belongs on the mk1 astronaut really even though it fits the coffin perfectly. you should try to lo...
Hi Bob, sorry for the delayed reply
I've had these watches since the early 80's, but wasn't the original owner on either. The gold plated one, I purchased at an estate sale. The ss spaceview is my favorite. A friend of mine owed me money, I don't remember what for. He gave me the watch to e...
