Yes or No?

Images borrowed from worn and wound online images. 

Reissue of the 1973 Bulova Parkmeter with a quartz movement instead of the original automatic one. 

Limited to 5000 pieces. 

MSRP $595, but can be purchased for around $408 from europe after some online digging. I love how the dollar is same as Euros now 🤸🕺

Would you get one or would you look for something else?

As you know by now, I have a sweet spot for quirky ones 😉 despite not being a Chrono guy.

The one bonus it has for me besides the cool/unique factor is the 12 hr bezel.  

Those "limited editions" are finicky. Sometimes you snooze, you wake up and they are gone and resell for way over retail. Still we can't gauge how fast it slow they would sell 🤔

That's a hard no for me

Too late. Already received one for my birthday. It is just too unique. And the reissue is a lot less expensive than a 1970’s model while looking the same. 

·

Absolutely did not like this one in person. If you can, give it a try before you buy.

·

I think it is a cool piece but for me, no.  It should be interesting with Citizen at the helm of Bulova, I can't wait to see what the do with it.

·

And damn you for your reply. Now I have no excuse 🤣

Man I can't wait for my exit watch, whenever that will be, as this is getting out of control 👀

When I saw it I thought the same thing cool and unique but not for me. But it's growing on me 🤫

Go for it! I love the design, but I am not a lover of chronographs.

I'm not a Chrono guy at all, but this one grapped my attention for sure

Its just so weird! I like it! I don‘t really have a weird watch, but alas I already have my next watch all picked out and it is not this one. 

·

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

Short and sweet .. I like it

I have other watches higher on my list, but I think it's really cool. I could see this one having a Marmite effect like the Seiko Willard, but get what you like.

Happy birthday 🎉🎈🎂🥳

 Should I dare to ask, do you like it? 

·

I wouldn't wear it but that doesn't mean I don't love it. Especially if retro racers are your schtick.

·

Hard Yes!

·

I can see Swatch coming out with that crazy design Bulova, New York, and Parking Meter design? Nah After living there for so many moons how crazy and upsetting when you have to deal with that especially having a car up there. And thats all I need a watch to remind me of that. Most of us not a big fan of parking meters. Definitely look for something else.

·

It's inique for sure. If you like it go for it!

·

Yes, but be warned they sit quite tall on the wrist

Got mine for £304
