Fair question - Sorry I missed it in February. We try to be as exact as we can in this passion of identifying watches. Over the years we have had 'spirited' discussions as to how to classify a watch that was sold as a different variant based solely on the mount (band, bracelet or strap). Every now and then we find ourselves in a rat hole that doesn't have a clear exit. In those situations we still obsess over variant but eventually end up in a amiable compromise. Thanks for understanding that we're all STILL crazy watch collectors, we're glad you're in the club!

Hi Steve
Well that nullifies the model identification value to other members, so I will remove the clear back and restore this AeroJet "A" to it's former authentic glory (grin). You may also remove the photo and comment about the little experiment, so as not to confuse anyone. I see your point exactly, particularly since you are the Admin. My wish is to be able to be able visit this site and receive clarification on Bulova questions, and to occasionally contribute to the database as well. Still learning
warmly
Jimmy
