Did you wake up this morning and think.....hmm what watch will I wear today?
Was that watch a vintage Bulova watch? If so, please share a photo showing what watch you decided to give some much precious 'wrist time' today.
I've always wanted to start this forum topic just to see what people wear.
I'll start out by showing my 1929 Bulova Watertite, recently repaired with a new balance wheel. I've even put a new waterproof gasket on the case....although I'm not sure if I dare go for a swim.
Fun idea, Stephen! I start each day by choosing my watch. My OCD desire is to have enough watches in my collection to wear a different one every day for a year if I so desire.....I'm getting there. Today, it's a 1942 Arnold on the original band. The "broken" seconds track between the 10 and 11 is some sort of weird crystal distortion.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that, I hadn't heard of such a thing, thanks Geoff.
On these 214s, it is interestingly important to use the right gasket on the case back. Too thin means that the setting mechanism will not function properly. Too thick is also problematic, and I was lucky enough to find a couple NOS Accutron gaskets. My expertise on these is very limited, this one didn't need much in the way of work, and keeps very good time, it might be gaining a couple of seconds a day, I'm going to time it for a week or two and see. My reference will be the Bulova Moon watch, which is very accurate as we know.

Well Rob, the Legacy model they've made, is the "Canadian" Dial version, as you know it's a mechanical movement though.

Thanks, Geoff, I appreciate that... The excuse I am getting is the pandemic, although I fail to see how that is a factor. My rep is advising me to check back in 2021, but I will cease to be a dealer in June, so that will be too little too late. I don't know who is making these decisions, but they are mistakes. These are exactly the type of watches that made Bulova famous and sold the best.

This is a great question, many of us have a lot of watches but which ones do we actually wear? Lately I've been wearing one of the white faced Clippers, this one is from 1943 and has different hands and numerals from the one posted earlier. I've been wearing this one during most of the pandemic.

Hi Tom, welcome to mybulova. That looks like a real beauty. Please go to the home page and click the red "identify your Bulova watch" link for a proper identification by the panel members.. That way, it can be properly discussed and entered into the database for all to see and appreciate.
Cheers!

These are all fantastic men’s watches. I’m considering getting a vintage bulova for my husband. His birthday is at the end of this month and I haven’t started shopping yet.
he is kind of the hippie type with shaggy hair and a beard. Not sure if those types of guys have “a look “ that screams out. Hahaha

Most days I don't wear a watch, just one of those fit bit thingys. Today I wore TWO Bulovas!
I wore my 1969 Bulova Oceanographer N to church this morning - this is one of my all time favorite Bulova watches
Took my valentine out for a 'top down' beach cruise this afternoon but changed into something sportier...
2020 Bulova Chrono A quartz model 98A254 - I don't have to worry about sand and salt with this guy
I actually wore this yesterday, but got home too late to post it. It was the first time I got to wear it all day.
It is I believe His Excellency AA from 1948, the year I was born. Came in what I think is the original box, but the Bulova insert in the lid has been replaced by a jeweler's name.

Forgive me, it's not a Bulova but I had to share this one. 7 Jewel Evkob Watch Co. (NYC) that I guess dates circa 1936, as the Evkob signed movement has an import code. The company seems to have disappeared circa 1940. Very Frank Lloyd Wright.....Gold plated numbers chapter ring is part of the bezel and under the crystal. Fresh complete COA done this month by previous owner. I couldn't help myself.

This one arrived today. Bought it for $15 free ship, described as "not working. might need a battery, or might not work". Put in a battery and everything works; watch looks like new. Stopwatch, dual time, alarm, 12/24 hr., alarm. Bought as a possible "flip" if it worked. Nah, it's mine.
(T3) 1993 "98C21". That's the number on the dial, no other on case back. I scoured the internet and find no mention of this watch anyplace..... Anybody ever seen one?
