LOL....out or "out of it"?  I do need to move all the non-watch record related database diatribe to a new forum post.

Hey, you're already out of it.
Your Gourd! : )
This watch looks a little "Berkshire revisited" to me.
Waddya think?

That's what I meant! I'll move those comments tonight...it does distract from the thread and is very Berkshire-lke.  Sorry

Unknown. What a great looking watch though. It appears that in 1960 it might have been a '30' but by 1965 it might have been a Commander. Question is - what was in in 1963? I really like this watch Gary.

Last Bulova "30" ad from 1964.

If anyone has a Commander, if you check the back it will probably be a screw-in type, and this is push-on.

I looked through arond the ads and didn't see that distinct case/dial.  Could be "Commander" or "Bulove 30" in 1961.  So like Geoff, I go w/ unknown.  

I didn't check on "unique crystal 2490" for possible help.

I'm at a generic Bulova 30 until we see an matching advert. Watch can be updated at any time.
