Bulova Watch Time... I remember seeing an ad in like a 50's or 60's Life or Nat Geo. Or was a classic TV commercial? Who's shilled for Bulova back in the day? John Cameron Swayze was Timex's pitchman, so it wasn't him.?🤔
Yes, that's what grabbed my attention. I was shopping for an Orient Bambino when this jewel caught my gaze! 🤗🫠
Thanks, my Dad gave me his old gold 3 star Benrus when it died and I later disassembled! I've been trying to find the exact model late 50's gold, 17 jewel, waterproof, expansion bracelet! Found my two Benrus 3 stars along the way.
My man, I see quite a few fine pieces I could drool over for a long period in one place, to extent I’d resort to position a small dish lined with absorbent material under my chin! 🤤
It seems the Chinese are getting better and learning from past manufacturing and marketing mistakes. In 2010, I bought a $20 generic automatic Oyster replica with "MQJ" silkscreened on the dial. It has a nice raised badge of a mountain in the top center of the dial, and I ran across a forum post about removing the "MQJ" with solvent and once removed, it looked really nice in the accompanying photos. (maybe archive.org has a cached copy).
Flash forward to 2023, they seem to be making nicer, less rough around the edges timepieces, much like Japanese cars, appliances and electronics morphed from junk in the 50's and 60's to high quality by the 80's and 90's. In any country, where there's a will, there's a way to make it happen.🤑
Correction: Not sure if 25j - I'm busting this down to 21j until I can get confirmation. On Back: Waterproof, Self Winding, Dustproof 10K Rgp Top, St. Steel Back, Serial #7053xx. BENRUS Pat. 2,302,340. Any crunchie sleuths out there can tell me more about this watch? 🙄🙏
