I only have one Bulova, the 96A164, Frank Lloyd Wright collection. Not a spec monster (who cares) but absolutely beautiful and distinctive dial and metalwork. Mine was only $135 several years ago. They seem to have disappeared.

Not too long ago, another Watch Cruncher made a pretty good case about Bulova being a serious rival to Seiko. Both can point to innovations, and both make watches from inexpensive quartz to those in the five-figure range.

Thank you for showing this one. Haven't seen it. Expensive? I hope not.

I was a child in the 1960s and can still remember how excited people were when the tuning fork Accutrons came out.
