Hi everyone,
Well found this very nice bulova today to add to my collection and wanted to know what it was. Marked L8 1958 on the back. Running great too. Looked through all the ads around that time frame and found notta. Any ideas? opinions? what do you think of it.
Who needs a 56 Chevy when you've got this???
Interesting Ladies Bulova watch. 1941 7AM(C) 17J. All original except I replaced the 7ADC GM13 hands with 7ADC GRd13 (looks rather cool I think...where else would I use them?) and put on a 7ADC red sweep second to replace the blue one - the fit wasn't very good after I took it off as I would have preferred the blue. I love these little old ladies watches with sweep seconds! Inside of case says Bulova New York so it's an authentic Bulova case. Strong runner. I'll leave the dial alone...it's too good of condition and besides...it's a waste of money to spend $35-$40 refinsihing a dial for a Ladies watch unless it's your Grandmothers!
Gotta get this watch!! It's the cats meow!! It's sliced bread!!
I'm waiting and waiting and anticipating.... and WHAM... the big show comes.... and BAM.. I'm outbid!!! WHAAAAAA?!?! OH NO YOU DI-INT!! So's I put a bigger bid in.... WHAM!! Outbid at the last second and I LOSE!!
I'm a LOSER!! I'm PISSED! I'm ranting and raving.... hearbeat all adrenalyised....
I slowly start to fade from white hot... to red hot... to a sort of orangy to yellow... to regular iron..
Updated photos with ad 1 -4-13. The watch looks much better to the naked eye then it does with digital photography. Can't believe all the scratches and flaws that showed up in the photos. Photos of the mvt. and caseback are from Ebay seller Michaelh 54619.

There maybe one of rescue! I rescued this guys grandfathers watch when he so empathetically sold it off on ebay... hey... what a great kid. Got this rare Physician for a silly price... like I stole it out of his grandpas sockdrawer... (yes, he seriously said after his grandpa died he found this watch in his sock drawer and now its on ebay)
Well just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't out there. This one is just too cool. It's stated as a stainless steel case, sporting an 11 movement. It was called "bull head automatic", and the first thing I thought was bull#*%!, but after looking a little closer, I can see how someone would describe it as a 1970 Bulova Bulls Head Chrono. Case diameter listed as 42mm w/o crowns.
