Wow, this one is a standout and over the top. Congrats, Ken.

Assuming no import code on movement, along with case markings; this one appears to be of European origin for the European market.

Now THAT'S a unicorn. I don't think I've ever seen this color combo Ken - what a find. Is this one going to stay in the collection?  What was the condition it came in?

1972 Bulova Spinnaker (WOW)
