IMO one of the best looking Bulova's I have ever seen. Really like that look.
Maybe there is a glimmer of hope for me and vinatage watches
I agree - on both counts. Most vintages don't float my boat, but that one is an exception.
Thank ye!
I really do like how it looks: interesting case and lugs, distinctive dial and font.
I'm going to have to send it for servicing, though. It's been running pretty accurately since I got it, but is a bit stiff when wound (I wind it just a little then let the rotor do its thing). Probably needs oiling, or whatever it is watchmakers do to get the mechanism moving smoothly again.

That looks absolutely stunning mate! Is it an all white b-42 with blue hands and markings? I can only see the all white with black hands and numbering on the website though.
