Ok, here is another tough one that may end up being unknown... Once again, I'm very happy with another find that is still keeping good time. I've googlefoo'd for some time, looked at all the adverts here and can't find an exact match. There is an exact match in the database here: http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1965-unknown-7282 with an "M5" stamp like mine. The one on ETSY has a "M4" stamp that looks exactly like mine with the same 10CL movement. The case back is the same as 66 Banker and Counselor. The dial and hands look nearly identical to the 66 counselor. Both of these models have the 10CL movement. I've yet to see a match for the lugs though.. There have been some new additions to the advertisements for this timeframe and I scanned those too. Maybe someone has seen one of these somewhere or there is a yet to be discovered advertisement with this thing in it..I don't know LOL. However, I'm uploading to provide another example of this model. I'm working on my presentation as I know it is lacking..LOL I'm going to do a little research lighting etc like all the pros here seem to have perfected. :-).. Thanks for your time again folks!
Best Regards,
Rick
In reply to yes, again one of the watches by jabs
In reply to Roger that..well at least I by Watch-N-Learn
Thanks all.. for some reason to me I feel it connects to the engineer line with the lines and semi rough gold etching. The bulky lugs coupled with the design just feels to me to be a industrial look and feel yet a dress up look for the blue collar working man? Maybe one day something will pop. Having seen three of these with the exact same features with “M” stamps for multiple years leads me to believe it had to be advertised somewhere. ...
Bulova may not have advertised all models in all places. There may have been models that didn't get advertised in the US for whatever reason. We know there are International models that have little or no North American sales. Their main market was the US, of course, but I often wonder what marketing was done elsewhere.
As an example, there were watch brands that sold in Canada that were not sold in the US. Even Rolex had models that were Canada only.
