Jet Star Collection

Submitted by 120Clicks on March 23, 2022 - 8:05am

Hello everyone,

My name is Mike and I am on a mission to collect all 10 Jet Star Models, and I am very close to completing the collection.  My question is... Does anyone here, have any knowledge of any other collector that has another complete Jet Star collection?   I have to imagine I am not the only collector to obtain all 10pcs, but I would like to know for sure.  I have reached out to several fellow Bulova collectors and nobody has knowledge of this being done before.  Any info or leads you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

-M

Mike, that would sure be fantastic collection to see and a first for me. I've not heard of anyone else having the series.

Looking through the linebooks we have I could only find 8 variants (A-H) in the series. Are you able to fill in the gaps as a reference for others?

The two that are not pictured in that particular entry, are the 1973 dial changes of the "A" & "B"

N3 A&B

I reviewed the entire list of catalogs and ads archived on MyBulova about a year ago and documented only variants A-H.  As you found the dial change in 73 for the A B variants, that leaves us with 10 documented variants with 8 variant letters.  I am not aware of any more.   I personally have four of these B (72), E, F and G but they do regularly come up for sale on ebay.

I agree, 10 total pieces.. (5 rounded "UFO" cased models and 5 variously designed models.)  Currently, I am missing the maroon dial "A" variant and the "F"
