Watch Description

This one has been on my wishlist for awhile but I have never pulled the trigger.  This one was at a price point I was willing to spend and I am so glad I did!  It is smaller than I thought it would be which I really like.  It is much prettier in person than the photos show.  Very happy with this one.

Very Nice! Congrats! The size comparison photo surprised me, I envisioned this one as larger than it is.

Thanks Bob!  Yes me too, pleasantly surprised :-) I am used to the smaller ladies sizes now.

The hers of the his. They are indeed becoming harder to find in nice condition with many being overpriced IMO.

It's on my wishlist as well to go alongside the men's version I have (thanks Jerin)

Nice find Kathy - I think this is one of the iconic 1950's Bulova watches. You'll wear this one a lot I bet.
