Watch Description

Here's an uncommon one that almost made me hyperventilate when it came out of the package. Diamonds at 12, 6 and 9 on a simulated Tiger's Eye dial. Date window at 3. Tuning fork marked crown and original Dutchess band with tuning fork on clasp. Clasp has a little high point wear but watch body, face and crystal are almost perfect. No s/n inside or out. Appears to have been worn by a "tie guy" who did no manual labor while wearing it. Looks "office worn" at most. A few tiny scratches under magnification. As received, running and keeping time.

Roger that Jim - nice pick up Bob - 1977 Bulova Model 12438-8Y (hey - what's wrong with being a 'tie guy'?)

PS - the one I had was worn by the NON tie guy - it had every known variant of crud in AND on it! It took me a WEEK to clean it.
