First vintage - 1976 Bulova
Was recently gifted a vintage manual-wind Bulova, and I'm happy to report it still ticks! At 36mm, it's on the smaller end of the collection, but I really enjoy the blue fume dial. The hair-ripper bracelet immediately went in the garbage, and I fitted it on a gray Cordura strap from Ebay.
Over time I hope to take it apart so I can give the case a good clean, and I hope to polywatch some of the acrylic scratches out. Going to be fun seeing how this watch progresses!

Cool looking piece love the cushion case.
I've got a Bulova Manual Wind hat was made in 1958 and it still keeps perfect time, I love the old watches
Great looking watch! Love that dial.
If a bracelet is original you should always keep it, even if you don't plan to use it. Someday if you sell the watch, it could add value to the buyer.
I just store them in a plastic sheath and write the name of the watch on the plastic so I know what watch they belong to.
Great looking piece - that dial is awesome.
Beautiful pice. Clean it but I wouldn’t polish the scratches of the case. Better with the strap.
Nice looking watch with a few different straps would make it more fun to wear.
