Hello,
Without defying too many rules about linking, promoting or even mentioning certain topics, here's a screenshot of an AMAZING looking Bulova watch. Sometimes I can be impulsive so I am hoping someone can shed a little light on this watch.
Are there more of these out there? Anyone know what it's called. I know it's a bit flashy but if I were to invest in this, is there a good chance it is something I could wear often.. is it hardy, well-made or are these old things fragile? I do have a few Bulovas that I am not shy about wearing... but this is gorgeous.
I've been saving up to purchase a 2012 everyday watch with a classic 60's style. Since my top three aren't Bulovas, I'll spare you the details. If I were to buy this watch, I won't be able to purchase the one I've been saving for... for the unforseeable future.
Most likely this watch will go for far more than I have to spend right now.. but I can dream~
Do you think it's as amazing looking as I do?

Thanks. I quickly found several Treasurers with this bottle cap bezel from 1947 here on myBulova. I'll let you know how close I come to owning this one... at least now I can keep my eye open for one.
I've been looking "into" watches lately and have touched the tip of a new iceberg in my life called horology. I just wish those little screwdrivers weren't so expensive~!

They (good screwdrivers) are worth every penny (or dollar) as they work well. In a years time, you will mess up enough screws/watches with the cheap version, and have to purchase a new set every few months, and will end up spending the money which would have gotten you the good set from the go get. Buy quality and cry once..... and the good ones last for decades, so you can look for used, and then get new blades if need be. I found this out the hard way years ago...

Superbison, Vintage Bulova's are very well made and meant to be worn. 1947 = 65 years old still running and with proper serviving will run another 65 years or more. I still wear a 1927 Conquerer and a 1927 Lone Eagle though my everyday watch is a 1945 Hamilton "Sentinal C".
Welcome to our world!

Who ever bid that kind of coin wanted it for sentimental reasons and so did someone else. That's called a bidding war and sellers like myself pray for that to happen with our watches. Keep looking and another will come along and it may suprise you to sell under a $100.00. I paid $28.00 for mine. Just be patient no matter how long it takes to get one at your price.
Ya know I am the proud owner of the Excellency JJ and I must say I kind of resent your saying the Coca Cola logo degraded the watch!
1. It is arguably the most famous Logo in the world.
2. It was a service recognition watch owned by a man named Warren McCray who probably had to work 25 or 30 years to earn it. As one who worked 32 years for the same company I respect that.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion, I'm just sayin!

I have held that Coca Cola watch in my hands, I have broken bread with it's owner (there might have been beer involved), it is superb
and I STILL want it, I always will.
Shawn is right, < $100 is normal. Mine is rose gold with the original rose gold Kreisler bracelet, I paid $68 USD.
