Marine Star doesn’t have the prestige of some other Bulovas - but I like this one. Rated for 200 meters, and I love the black pvd bracelet I found for it.

Stay safe, my friend.

I’ve set my GMT watch’s 24 hour hand to Kyiv time. Kyiv is GMT +2, or Eastern US +7.

For US Thanksgiving Day, a watch with a fork in the movement. A 1972 Accutron 218, made in USA.

I recently regulated this, to the point where some days it’s gained a fraction of a second, and at other times I...

But the front is so good, one can forgive the disappointing backside.

If I like the original strap, I wear it. If not, I save it. I haven’t been a WIS long enough to wear out an original strap, but if+when I do, if the buckle is signed, I may very well put the...

Taking a few cues from the Royal Oak.

Newmark 52. Seiko VH-31 movement ticks 4x per second, quartz. And I love the look. Excellent lume.

This one is on its way to me soon, vintage 1972. This Accutron caught my attention because I haven't seen this type case before. Not pristine but I think I can forgive that in this case (pun...

For US Inauguration Day, this automatic 30 jewel Bulova, made in USA, stainless case, vintage 1969.

Today I am honoring my country, wearing this made in USA Bulova Accuquartz with a humming tuning fork movement. Vintage 1976, the 200th anniversary of our founding.

Yesterday was quite a day in...

Virtually no political ads here in Connecticut. We’re not a swing state.

I will try that. The approach to the lever’s edge will be different but it could work well. Thanks!

When working close up I don’t have good 3-D vision. I’ve had a difficult time getting an appropriate screwdriver blade positioned correctly against the regulator lever to push it. One time, I went...

As for Cinderella-fitting batteries to an empty opening - googling for the movement’s brand and caliber will usually get you the correct battery size number. Caliber is usually marked on the...

Is this what is going on with the rectangular- case Casio I have? Looks like 1980’s. I popped out the old dead battery but I cannot seem to get the new one in. #351 battery. Battery seems to be...

Vintage 1979, date code N9. The year my wife and I met. This Bulova Devil Diver is recently back from being serviced. Keeping time more accurately than many of my other quartzes.

Thanks, tribe125.

In fact there’s one listed on eBay now. Not mine! I’d estimate a small handful of clean(ish) ones yearly, there. So it’s not common, but find-able if you’re patient.

It’s...

Recently professionally serviced, and I regulated it. Now gaining between 0.5-1 sec per hour, with no change when resting dial up overnight. I like it! 1969 code on the movement, 1970 on the case. My...
